Conclusions
-
1.
It was shown possible to boride iron and steel in vacuum in a mixture of boron carbide and borax. The thickest diffusion layer forms by impregnating in a mixture containing 16–18% borax.
-
2.
The influence of temperature and process time on the thickness and structure of the diffusion layer was studied.
