BORONIZING TREATMENT

• Boron gas diffusion coating or boronizing is a high temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process whereby boron atoms diffuse into the base metal of the component to form new metallurgical alloys at the surface. The alloys are thus an integral part of the base metal. They possess very distinct properties and the new surface alloys attain very high hardness. It is this enhanced surface that has resulted in dramatic improvements to the service life of the component. VaporKote uses proprietary formulations for our powder mixes thus insuring consistent high quality boron diffusion coatings.
