Boronizing is carried out with
paste presence of protective
gases or in powder. A boride
layer up to .3 mm thick forms on the surface of the
component that can reach a microhardness
of up to 2000 HV. This layer gives the metal a high
degree of wear resistance.

Thus boronizing
is particularly well-suited for forging
tools, for glass industry tools, and for components
that are exposed to sliding or rolling friction.
Boronized components are characterized by an extremely
low cold-seizing
propensity and are corrosion-,
erosion-, and cavitation-resistant. |
