Study of the Surface of Plowshares Hardened by Boriding with Simultaneous Carburization

Key Points

• To analyze the surface properties and structures of plowshares treated with boriding and carburization.
• Utilized scanning electron microscopy for surface analysis
• Performed X-ray microanalysis to identify layer structures
• Examined hardened plowshares under different treatment conditions
• Identified unique layer structures resulting from boriding and carburization
• Demonstrated improved hardness and durability in treated surfaces
