Abstract:It is now well known that surface alloying caused improvement in the mechanical/chemical properties of near surface regions of materials. In the present study, surface alloying treatment with boron, vanadium and iron on the AISI 1020 steel was realized by the technique of TIG welding. Ferrous boron, ferrous vanadium and Armco iron were used for surface alloying treatment. Before the treatment, ferrous alloys were ground and sieved to be smaller than 38 µm. The powders were mixed to be composed of Fe15−xVxB5, w… Show more
