Abstract
Abstract
In the study for this contribution, the AISI H13 hot work steel was pack-boronized between 2 and 6 h of exposure time within the temperature range of 800 – 1000 °C. The boriding agent was composed of a powder mixture containing (in weight percent): 90 % of boron carbide (B4C) and 10 % of sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4). The SEM observations showed a less pronounced jagged interface between the boronized layer and the transient zone. A double phase boride layer (FeB and Fe2B) was identified over the surface of AISI H13 steel with the presence of metallic borides inside this compound layer. The mean diffusion coefficient (MDC) method was applied to analyze the growth of iron borides (FeB and Fe2B) as compact layers over the surfaces of AISI H13 steel. The boron activation energies in the two iron borides were also assessed from the present kinetic approach by assuming the Arrhenius relationships. Afterwards, the kinetic model was checked experimentally by considering two extra boriding conditions (925 °C for 1 and 3 h). Finally, the predicted layer thicknesses are in accordance with experimental measurements.
