Boronising

Boronising Technology

Boronising is a thermo-chemical surface hardening process during which the diffusion and subsequent absorption of boron atoms into the metallic lattice of the component surface forms interstitial boron compounds. The resulting layer may consist of either a single-phase boride or a poly-phase boride layer. The morphology, growth, and phase composition of boride layer can be influenced by the alloying elements in the base material. The microhardness of borided layer also depends strongly on the composition and structure of the boride layer and the composition of the base material.

Why choose this service

United Oil Tools provides high quality boronising services under a suitable budget. Our boronised layers possess characteristics as high hardness, good thickness, consistency in thickness, defect free, and excellent morphology. These characteristics result in significant performance improvement in wear and corrosion condition that have been demonstrated by functional and standard test procedures.
