The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Many attempts have been made to improve iron and steel and their alloys by the addition of boron. The reĀsults obtained were not encouraging for the reason that the amount of boron used, generally from 0.2 to 2.0 per cent is altogether too high. This percentage of boron renĀders the product hard and brittle and of late the experiments with boron in this connection have been practically abandoned.
