Effect of boriding upon the fatigue and corrosion-fatigue strength of steel

Summary

  1. 1.

    Heating steel in a boron carbide/borax mixture is an effective boriding treatment, the best results being obtained with a mixture containing 16% borax.

  2. 2.

    The diffused layers produced on steel by this treatment consist of needle-like iron borides, FeB and Fe2B; their relatively high specific volume leads to the appearance of residual compressive stresses of considerable magnitude.

  3. 3.

    Boriding brings about a significant increase in fatigue and corrosion-fatigue strength of steel.
