Abstract:

This paper evaluates the tribological behavior of borided AISI 316L steel after being exposed to a secondary process to form a thin film of a solid lubricant. The process known as Short Annealing Process (SAP), allows creating a thin film of boric acid (H3BO3) on the surface of metallic materials previously exposed to boriding. The H3BO3 film acts like solid lubricant due to its lamellar crystalline structure. First samples of AISI 316L were exposed to boriding to temperatures of 875, 925 and 975 °C during 2, 4 and 6 h each temperature. Then, samples were heated to 750 °C during 5 min and cooled to room temperature at 60 % of Relative Humidity. The tribological behavior of the treated samples was evaluated by pin-on-disk test equipped with friction coefficient measurement system. Samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and Vickers microhardness test. The results showed an evident influence of the experimental parameters on the thickness of the boride layers and their mechanical properties. The layer ́s thickness was ranged from 10.51±0.71 to 51.57±5.12 μm. The hardness of the coatings was increased from 264 to 1685 HV. Finally, the Coefficient of Friction was diminished from values of 0.7 for the as-received material to 0.29 for the borided samples and to 0.06 for those after SAP, which indicates that the post-treatment SAP enhances the tribological properties of the biomedical steel.
