Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are new boronizing compositions consisting of boron fluoride and boron oxide, borax, or an iron boride. The compositions reduce the heating temperature and time. Further disclosed are methods of boronizing a metal substrate including these compositions, or any combination thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A boronizing composition comprising: at least 5% by weight of the composition of at least one boron fluoride, or molten salts thereof: and at least 30% by weight of the composition of one or more of a boron oxide, borax or an iron boride; wherein the one or more of boron oxide, borax or iron boride is FeB or Fe 2 B. 2. The boronizing composition of claim 1 , wherein the boron oxide is B2O3. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the melting point and eutectic point of the composition is less than 900° C. 4. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising an activator, binder, or bed materials. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the activator is selected from the group consisting of potassium tetrafluoroborate, sodium tetrafluoroborate, ammonium tetrafluoroborate, ammonium chloride, sodium carbonate, barium fluoride, borax, or a combination thereof. 6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the bed material is a carbide. 7. The boronizing composition of claim 1 , wherein the boron fluoride is NaBF4. 8. The boronizing composition of claim 1 , wherein the boron fluoride is KBF4. 9. A boronizing composition comprising: at least 5% by weight of the composition of at least one boron fluoride, or molten salts thereof: and at least 30% by weight of the composition of one or more of a boron oxide, borax or an iron boride; wherein the boron fluoride is NaBF4-KF; and the at least one of boron oxide, borax, or iron boride is FeB. 10. A boronizing composition comprising: at least 5% by weight of the composition of at least one boron fluoride, or molten salts thereof: and at least 30% by weight of the composition of one or more of a boron oxide, borax or an iron boride; wherein the boron fluoride is KBF4-KF; and the at least one of boron oxide, borax, or iron boride is FeB.
