Description | Boriding is a thermochemical surface treatment in which boron diffuses into and combines with a substrate material to form a single- or double-phase metal boride layer at the surface of the substrate. This entry discusses the importance of boriding for ferrous materials, in which the formation of boride layers, such as FeB and Fe2B, improves the hardness, wear resistance, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance at the surface of steels. To understand the intended industrial applications, this study analyzed the growth kinetics of FeB/Fe2B layers using a mathematical model that incorporates the different experimental variables during the diffusion process, such as temperature, exposure time, and boride layer thicknesses. Finally, some mechanical properties of the boride layers, such as the real hardness, elastic indentation modulus, and fracture toughness as estimated using the Berkovich indentation method, were revised in this work.
