The investigation on efect of different boronizing time to abrasive wear resistance of transmission steel

Boronizing has many advantages in comparison with tradional hardining methods. The boride layer has high hardening value and keeps it?s hardeness at high temperatures and it also shows favorible properties, such as the resistance to wear, oxidation and corrosion. In this study, the effect of boronizing on the abrasive wear resistance of transmission steel, Ç 1040, was ivestigated. The samples were boronized by pack boronizing method for different durations. Then wear tests were applied on the specimen using pinon disk method. It has been formed that surface hardness and abrasive wear resistance of boronized samples were much beter than that of untreated samples. t has also been determined that bored layer thickness and abrasive wear resistance increased withincreasing boronizing time.
