4. Conclusions
- Borided 8620 (both SLMed and wrought) exhibited an approximately 8-fold increase in Vickers hardness and an approximately 6-fold decrease in wear rate compared to bare 8620, which can be attributed to the formation of hard dual-phase iron boride layers.
- The enhanced corrosion resistance of the borided SLMed and wrought 8620 in 0.1 M Na2S2O3 + 1 M NH4Cl solution were demonstrated by a 3–6-fold decrease in corrosion current density, an approximately 6-fold increase in charge transfer resistance, and an approximately 6-fold decrease in double-layer capacitance.
- Post-corrosion surface characterization of the bare SLMed and wrought 8620 revealed the presence of a thick and porous layer of corrosion products, which predominantly comprised of sulfides and oxides of metal species.
- Borided 8620 exhibited dispersed particles of corrosion products that predominantly comprised of elemental sulfur. The lower corrosion rate of the borided steels was attributed to the lower amount of adsorbed sulfur on the boride layers.
