A review on relationship between morphology of boride of Fe-B alloys and the wear/corrosion resistant properties and mechanisms

Untitled

“…However, despite its wide use in these alloys, there are some disadvantages, such as high cost, low ductility, and susceptibility to cracking of the weld metal [75]. In recent years, the innovation of Fe-B alloys is considered a break through due to their excellent wear resistance and good corrosion resistance with moderate impact strength, higher chemical and mechanical stability compared to alloy with high chromium content Cr [76]. However, the addition of boron instead of expensive alloying elements reduces the filler material cost [77].…”

Improve the Corrosion Resistance of the Copper-Zinc Alloy by the Epoxy-WO3 Nanocomposite Coating

“…There are a few different ways to prevent the corrosion of metals in various engineering fields. In the meantime, the main ways for the protection of metals involve alloying treatment [7,8], adding corrosion inhibitors [9], electroplating spraying [10,11], methods of electrochemical protection [12], and nonmetallic coatings [13][14][15], etc.…”

High wear resistance hypoeutectic Fe–C–B alloy by hot rolling

“…However, study on new wear resistance materials is still an attractive research field to improve the properties and lower the cost of them. Hypoeutectic Fe-C-B alloy is a new wear resistance alloy and gets more and more attentions due to their low cost and high wear resistance [3,4]. Ternary Fe-C-B phase diagram shows that boron forms Fe 2 B, Fe 3 (B,C), Fe 23 (B,C) 6 , etc during solidification [5,6], and enhances hardness and wear resistance of the alloy significantly [7].…”

“…Consequently, it is not suitable for application under heavy impact conditions. Many works such as alloying, heat treatment and modification have been reported to improve the toughness of the alloy [8][9][10][11], but the results are still not good enough due to extraordinary stability of boron contained hard phases.…”
