Abstract
1. The residual stress distribution in borided steel varies with the phase composition of the case. 2. An increase in the carbon content of the steel leads to an increase of the residual stresses in the case of nonelectrolytic boriding and to a reduction in the case of electrolytic boriding. 3. The highest residual stresses in the boride case result from furnace cooling from boriding temperature. Increasing the cooling rate leads to a reduction of the residual stresses. The lowest residual stresses occur after water quenching. 4. Tempering of the borided steel increases the compressive stresses in the boride case. 5. Natural aging for as long as 9 months has little effect on the magnitude or distribution of residual stresses.
