Abstract

In this study a numerical-experimental evaluation of the sliding wear resistance of iron boride layers formed on the surface of an AISI 316L steel was developed. The boriding process was carried out at a temperature of 900 °C for 2 h and 6 h of exposure. Pin-on-disc tests were realized on non-borided and borided AISI 316L steels. The experimental results showed that the boriding contributed significantly to the wear resistance of the AISI 316L steel compared to the non-borided material. In addition, the thinner boride layer thickness developed more severe wear mechanisms. Finally, principal stresses and maximum shear stress generated in the layer/substrate systems were evaluated during the wear test using the finite element method (FEM).
