Conclusions
-
1.
Low-carbon martensitic steels such as 10N3M1.5B can be coated by single-phase boride layers with a low brittleness by a conventional boronizing.
-
2.
Boronizing by low-carbon martensitic steels from daubs at 910°C for 3 h with cooling in air gives a martensitic structure in the bulk of the part.
-
3.
Chromium alloying of a martensitic steel causes the formation of a brittle FeB boride in the boronized coat.
-
4.
The introduction of copper oxide into the slip daub makes it possible to control the phase composition and the structure of the boride layer on low-carbon martensitic steels.
