Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of boronizing treatment on the corrosion resistance of API X52 steel. Borides were grown on API X52 steel in a powder mixture containing 5% B₄C as a boron source, 5% NaBF₄ as an activator, and 90% SiC as diluents for 4 hours at 950 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the sample's boride layer contains only Fe₂B phases. The corrosion behavior of borided and unborided specimens was investigated using the Tafel extrapolation method in 1M HCl and H₂SO₄ solutions. The results show that borided specimens have better corrosion resistance than unboronized specimens. The formation of layers of protective iron borides reduces the corrodability of the steel in the borided specimens. Boronizing increased the corrosion resistances of X52 steel in HCl and H₂SO₄ by 23 and 77-fold, respectively.
