A new type of high chromium cast iron (HCCI) was prepared, and its microstructure, mechanical properties, abrasion resistance were investigated systematically. Results showed that after surface carburizing chromizing, the microstructure HCCI mainly consists martensite, boride (M2B), carbide (M7C3), accompanied with a large amount secondary precipitations M23C6. Moreover, morphology hardness in ...

in this study carburizing and boronizing processes were applied to powder metallurgy steel specimens and the mechanical and tribological properties of the substrate and coatings were evaluated under various process conditions. the specimens, made from industrial test pieces, were carburized in a powder pack for a duration of 2-5 hrs at 850-950 ˚c. similar specimens were pack boronized for 4 hrs...
