Boronizing is a thermochemical surface hardening process that strengthens the material surface by diffusing boron atoms to the metal surface.
Boronizing is used to improve hardness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance on surfaces of metals and alloys, while at the same time maintaining these properties at high temperatures and increasing erosion resistance.
Boronizing is applied industrially to iron-based alloys (except bearing steels containing aluminum and silicon, surface hardened, tempered, tool steels and stainless steels, cast steels, gray and spheroidal graphite cast irons, sintered iron and steels).
The high surface hardness and low surface friction coefficient of the boron layer; adhesion makes it resistant to wear mechanisms such as abrasion and surface fatigue in wear conditions.
