The chemical analysis ofthe sample to be used in the experiment was carried out with optical emission spectrometry before starting theboronizing experiment. Boronizing experiment using pack-boronizing method were carried out at 950°C for 3hours. As the boron source, a powder mixture having the commercial name Ekabor 2 consisting of SiC, B4C andKBF4, was used. As a result of the boronizing treatment, the boride layer formed on the surface of AISI 316,morphologically by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM-BEI), thickness by optical microscope integrated visualanalyze system, hardness by Vickers indenter and chemical analysis by XRD (X-ray diffraction) device, wereinvestigated. Then, friction tests were carried out to determine the wear resistance of the boride layer. As a result,it is determined that the boron layer formed on the surface of boronized AISI 316 stainless steel, consists of adouble phase iron-boride layer. This layer is a columnar morphology and homogeneous thickness. Also it hasbeen determined to have ultra-hard and high wear resistance.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle1114211053542813542818
