Overview of diffusion boriding problems in industrial applications by Željko Stojanović, Sanja Stanisavljev

“…The research was directed towards the display of limitations and inadequacy of boriding procedures in a solid, liquid and gaseous medium in terms of their contribution to low production efficiency and unjustifiably high production costs. The adverse effects of brittleness and formation of cracks that lead to fracture and peeling of the boric layer were considered, the problems of choosing high process temperatures which can be harmful for the base material, but also other errors which to be avoided in order to achieve the optimum characteristics of the boride layers. …”
