Abstract
The chapter describes the effective technologies used to improve the plasticity of layers based on metal borides which determine the composite structure containing a softer component of a-solid solution and inclusions of borides positioned freely or in a specific order. The layers with composite structure lack the main disadvantage of boride layers—high brittleness—due to the created plasticity reserve. A certain amount of borides (no less than 60%) preserves the high hardness and wear-resistance. The chapter also studies the perspective methods for obtaining composite structure which are based on the use of laser and electron-beam heating. The authors analyze the formation peculiarities of different morphology under the use of boron carbide and amorphous boron as well as the influence of different heating parameters on the structure and mechanical properties of boronized layers in different brands of steels and iron casts. The chapter also includes the description of formation mechanisms for boronized layers under laser and electron-beam heating from pastes and coatings and additional processing of preliminary obtained boronized layers (combined boriding). The unique structures of boronized layers, first obtained by the authors, are presented. The obtained data allows to significantly expand the usage of boronized layers and recommend the process to be used to harden the details of machines and tools working under the conditions of dynamic loadings, e.g. shafts, chain sheaves, gears, star wheels, cam gears, stamps etc.
