Boriding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boriding, also called boronizing, is the process by which boron is introduced to a metal or alloy. It is a type of surface hardening.

Boronizing is generally done by diffusing boron into the surface of the part to be treated at high temperatures. This results in a hard, low-friction, wear-resistant surface.[1]

It is often used on steel, but is applicable to a variety of alloys and cermet materials.[2][3]
