Abstract:The complex diffusion saturation of the surface of steels with boron and metal by the solid-phase method can improve the functional properties of parts and tools. Thus, the combined process of simultaneous saturation with boron and copper (boron-copper plating) with the use of an exothermic reduction reaction of their oxides in the process of thermal chemical-treatment (TCT) provides a greater layer thickness compared to pure boron plating and makes it possible to increase the plasticity of the coating.
