Kinetic modeling and characterization of silicon-free pack boriding on Inconel 738 superalloy using the Taylor expansion model
Abstract Inconel 738 superalloy was treated using a silicon-free pack boriding process with a powder mixture of boron carbide (B4C) and sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4) at 850 °C, 900 °C, and 950 °C for 2 h–8 h. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses confirmed the for...
