Boriding, also called boronizing, is the process by which boron is introduced to a metal or alloy. It is a type of surface hardening also called case hardening. In this process boron atoms are diffused into the surface of a metal component. Once boron is present inside the surface of a metal component, it will form a surface layer of metal borides such as iron boride, nickel boride, cobalt borides, etc.. which have extremely high hardness and wear resistance. Boronized metal parts are extremely wear resistant and will often last two to five times longer than components treated with conventional heat treatments such as hardening, carburizing, nitriding, nitrocarburizing or induction hardening. Most borided steel surfaces will have iron boride layer hardnesses ranging from 1200-1600 HV. Nickel-based superalloys such as Inconel and Hastelloys will typically have nickel boride layer hardnesses of 1700-2300 HV. Boride layer depths can range from .001" to .015" inch depending on base material selection and treatment.
It is often used on steel, but is applicable to a variety of alloys and cermet materials.
