Summary
-
1.
The viscosity of the electrolyte decreases considerably with the addition of up to 30% sodium carbonate. This makes it possible to decrease the boriding temperature to 800–820°C.
-
2.
We propose the use of the following electrolyte for electrolytic boriding: 30% borax, 40% boric anhydride, and 30% sodium carbonate.
