New Specification for Boron Diffusion Coating Applied by Pack Cementation Process
1. Scope
The requirements for boron diffusion through pack cementation or some form of which involves chemical vapor deposition of a metal which is subsequently diffused into the surface of a substrate at high temperature. Powder boron, halide salts and alumina filler all play a part in this process.
Keywords
boronizing, boriding, and pack-boron
Rationale
L80 production pipe, artificial lift mandrels and other downhole tools are boronized for wear protection. Medical devices and inserts into the human body do well with titanium that has been boron-carbonized.
