Boronizing

Properties of Borocoat Layers:

• High hardness 1400-2600 HV, even on non-alloyed steels
• Diffusion depth 10-250 μm
• High abrasion resistance and resistance against cold welding
• Excellent thermal stability
• Self lubricating effect at high temperatures
• Superior bonding strength, no coating but diffusion layer
• Good resistance against molten metal (Al, Zn)

Material Selection for Boronizing

• Non-alloyed and low-alloyed steels
• Stainless steels
• Borocoat
• Cast iron, casted steel
• Cold work, hot work and HSS steel
• Powder metallurgical steels
• Cobalt based materials
• Cemented carbides
• Nickel-based alloys (Nimonic®, Inconel®, Hastelloy®, Haynes®)

Boronizing is the most effective solution for Nickel-based alloys!
