INVESTIGATION OF STRUCTURE-FORMATION MECHANISMS IN DIFFUSION BORATING OF WASTES WHILE PRODUCING STEEL AND IRON SHOT

Abstract

The paper describes development of new composite self-fluxing powders made of waste products while producing cast steel and iron shot. Structure and properties of initial and borated powders, dependence of boride layer thickness growth on chemical and thermal treatment time have been investigated in the paper. The paper proposes for the first time a description of structure-formation mechanism in the diffusion alloying process on the basis of the obtained data.
