Metallographic and Eddy Current Study of Boride Strengthening Coatings

Abstract:

This research aims to study boron-based coatings on the surface of steel parts. The significance of this topic is determined by practical considerations of the need to improve strength of the steel surface subjected to high loads. In the course of study, samples of strengthening coatings made of 65G steel obtained by HFEC heating method were created. Then, the samples were subjected to a series of studies using a metallographic microscope, as well as a measuring system based on eddy current effects. The obtained data analysis allows us to conclude about the pattern of electrical conductivity distribution on the surface of test materials with different coatings depending on the quantitative composition of flux when creating boron-based strengthening coatings.
