Properties and Corrosion Resistance of AISI H13 Hot-Work Tool Steel with Borided B4C Powders

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the surface of AISI H13 steel was borided with powder blends of B4Cand NaBF4using the powder-pack methodat 800, 900 and 1000 °C for 2, 4 and 6 h. The structural and mechanical characteristics of the boride layers formed on thesurface were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, 2Dsurface profilometry, microhardness and electrochemical corrosion (3.5 wt% NaCl) tests. The boride layer exhibited a singlephase structure (Fe2B) in samples coated at 800 °C and a dual-phase structure (FeB + Fe2B) at higher boriding temperatures(900 and 1000 °C). The boride layers were compact and crack-free in all boriding conditions. Depending on boridingparameters, the thickness, hardness and average surface roughness (Ra) of the coatings were found to range between 5.81and 102.46 μm, 1635–1915 HV and 0.315–0.650 μm, respectively. The borided AISI H13 steel displayed up to 33.5 timesand 2.4 times higher corrosion resistance than untreated AISI H13 steel and martensitic AISI 431 steel, respectively. Thissuggests potential use of borided AISI H13 steel in the steam turbines and marine applications as an alternative to the morecostly martensitic and duplex stainless steel grades. The corrosion resistance depended on the phase structure (single- ordual-layer), density, thickness and surface roughness of the boride coatings.
