This study evaluates the adhesion of boride layers on the surface steels of AISI 4140, 8620, W2 and H13 by standard VDI 3198 [1], the surface hardened was carry out by the technique of power pack boriding at the temperatures of 1273 K, with time exposition of 6 and 8 h. The presence of boride phases was determinate by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A Rockwell C indentation tester was applied on the surface steels boriding, this impact test determines qualitatively the adhesion on layer/substrate indentation print and Vicker microhardnes was evaluate a load of 2.9 N on phase FeB and Fe2B, the steels have scale delamination H1 to H6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
