Wear resistance increasing of boron saturated surface layer of steel 15 230 and 17 246

Abstract

In presented paper we described studies of resistance of selected material in abrasive wear tests. A surface of tested materials was remelted using TIG method and the layer of borax and B4C in water suspension at the surface. Based on tests results, we found out, that the B4C as a boron source is more suitable compare to borax when saturating remelting surface layer, with more significant impact on relative abrasive wear resistance of selected steel 15 230 and 17 246.
