Abstract

All the materials, subjected to boronizing using different techniques, were indicated in this chapter. They were classified into two main groups: iron alloys and non-ferrous materials. The preliminary analysis of the produced microstructure was presented. The most popular materials with boride layers were marked with the boxes drawn in a broken line. Boride coatings could be produced on any metal alloy under certain conditions.
