In this study, niobium carbide (NbC) coatings were grown on AISI D3 cold work tool steel via
thermoreactive diffusion (TRD) at 900, 1000 and 1100° C for 2, 4, and 6 h. The …

Boriding on steels is an outstanding surface hardening technique widely used to improve
the hardness, resistance to wear, corrosion, and oxidation. However, borided steels exhibit …

In the present work, two mathematical diffusion models have been used to estimate the
growth of the iron monoboride and diiron boride coating formed on AISI 420 steel. The …

With the high parameter development of low-speed and high-torque hydraulic motors,
higher requirements have been placed on the tribological performances of their moving …

The kinetic modeling, based on solving the mass balance equations at the two diffusion
fronts, was considered to investigate boron diffusion and the formation of dual boride layers …

Borides are considered advanced building materials due to their high melting temperature,
hardness, wear/corrosion/oxidation resistance and excellent thermal and electrical …

Tool steels are generally preferred for sha** and blanking dies in sheet forming industry.
A mild heat treatment is needed to bring about the properties needed for long lasting …

In this work, the Vanadis 6 steel was subjected to the solid boronizing treatment in the range
of 950–1050° C, and for the durations between 0.75 and 10 h. The cross-sectional …

The structure and the tribological properties of steel AISI 1010 are studied after boronizing
and aluminizing in powder mixtures at 850° C for 1, 3 and 5 h. The effect of the duration of …

Carbon nanomaterials (CNs) were deposited on borided AISI O1 steel by chemical vapor
deposition. The deposit, characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray …
