Abstract
In this study, the effect of particle size of powder used in the boronizing process with solid boron-yielding substances on the boride layer was inves tigated. Hot-shaped AISI 1020, AISI 1030, AISI 1040, and AISI 1050 structur al steels were used as the base materials. EKabor HM powder was used as the boronizing agent, and was classified into four groups according to particl e size. The boronizing process was carried out with each group at 900 degre esC for 2, 3, 4, and 5 h. The microstructure, microhardness, and layer thic kness of the boronized materials were investigated.
