The Influence of Process Parameters on Structure and Phase Composition of Boride Coatings Obtained on X39CrMo17-1 Stainless Steel

The boride coatings are characterized by attractive set of properties: high wear resistance and good high-temperature corrosion. In present research the diffusion boride coatings were obtained on X39CrMo17-1 stainless steel. The pack-boriding process was conducted using commercial Ekabor 2 powder. The influence of time of process on thickness and chemical composition was analysed. The boriding process was conducted in 2, 4, 6 hours at 1000 °C using retort furnace. The obtained coating was characterized by double layer structure and contained the FeB in outer layer and Fe2B in inner layer. The thickness of boride coatings increased with process time. The analysis of obtained results showed that the optimal thickness of coating was obtained during 4-h pack boriding.
