Surface modification of die steels with B—Al-layers by thermal-chemical treatment

Abstract

The effect of diffusion high-temperature boroaluminizing (HBA) on the mechanical properties and quality parameters of the surface layer of stamp steels 5KhNM and 3Kh2V8F is shown. An analysis of the microstructure and composition of diffusion composite layers obtained as a result of thermal-chemical treatment (TCT) is presented and the distribution of microhardness in these layers is studied depending on the formed borides and carbides. The influence of processing temperature modes of on the parameters of roughness was experimentally established and the wear resistance characteristics of the processed surfaces of the investigated materials were determined.
