Abstract
The present study has been undertaken to study the microstructure and microhardness of the multi-component B–C–N diffusion coatings developed on AISI M2 high-speed steel substrate at 560 and 650 oC for 1 and 4 h for each temperature respectively. The investigation of the coatings was fulfilled using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, Vickers microhardness measurements were performed. The results showed that varying conditions of the thermochemical treatment led to a variety of coatings in the sense of their microstructure and phase composition.
