Abstract
This paper describes a study on the growth of Fe 2B and FeB layers obtained by the diffusion of boron produced by cathodic reduction of KBF 4 on steel in molten fluorides at 800 °C. The growth rate of boride layers has been studied as a function of time at different constant current densities. The metallographic study and the growth curves obtained indicate that the Fe 2B layer is probably formed before the FeB layer and that the growth is controlled by diffusion of boron into the Fe 2B layer. The evaluated diffusion coefficient of boron into Fe 2B is in good agreement with previous literature data.
