Abstract
An investigation was conducted on the boridation of pure iron and allo y steels, such as S45C, SCM415, SK3 and SRH55. These materials were bo ridized in a glow discharge of Ar and BCl3 at temperatures as low as 5 00 degrees C. Results show that the thickness of boridation increases with increasing substrate temperature and boridation time. The additio n agent Mn reduces the boridation rates of pure iron and alloy steels, but C enhances the boridation rates.
