Feasibility of Boriding Alloy Steels at Temperatures below 1000 F,
Abstract
The report concerns the results of a feasibility study that was conducted to determine whether or not alloy steels could be borided to achieve an iron boride layer of .001 to .005 inch at temperatures of 1000 F or lower. The purpose of boriding in this temperature range is to create a wear resistant surface without over-tempering the substrate steel. Results of the study have shown that the alloy steel cannot be borided effectively at temperatures of 1000 F or lower. The study has shown that minimum practical temperatures for .0005 inch boride diffusion are approximately 1100 F for low-carbon steel and 1250 F for alloy steel.
