Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 237))

Abstract

Basic chemical and physical properties of the components and phases in B-Fe and B-C-Fe systems are analyzed and the conditions of their existence and formation during the process of boriding of iron and its smelts are studied. Different types of iron borides (Fe3B, Fe2B, FeB, FeB2), their crystall lattices, concentration and temperature formation conditions are thoroughly investigated. The chapter also provides the values of hardness and chemical properties which form the exploitation characteristics of boronized layers.
