A new medium for boriding of Ti6Al4V alloy for biomedical applications

Abstract: This study presents a low-cost and environmentally friendly medium for the pack boriding (boronizing) of a Ti6Al4V alloy. Titanium and its alloys are known to be highly reactive and to have extreme oxygen affinity. Therefore, boriding is performed under vacuum or in protective atmospheric conditions. This work evaluated the pack boriding heat treatments of a Ti6Al4V alloy under atmospheric conditions via the various boriding media used by previous researchers. In addition, a new pack boriding medium was develo… Show more

“…Then it disproportionates with the formation of boric anhydride B 2 O 3 and atomic boron, which diffuses through the interface into titanium and forms the chemical compound TiB on the surface. Under such conditions of boriding, the internal energy of oxygen is sufficient for overcoming the energy barrier, dissolution into titanium, and formation of a solid solution Ti(O) (diffusion layer) [39,42].…”

“…Titanium already forms an oxide layer at low temperatures, which has a passivating effect and thus prevents further oxidation of the titanium. However, at temperatures above 500 °C, the oxidation resistance decreases significantly, so that titanium has a much higher solubility for foreign elements such as O, N, C and H, which can change the material properties [32,33]. These interstitially dissolved atoms and reaction products significantly affect the microstructure of titanium and its mechanical properties.…”
