 This study investigated the effectiveness of the powder pack boriding process in producing a layer of iron borides on AISI 316L stainless steel. The presence of iron borides was confirmed using optical microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Hardness and Young's modulus measurements were taken from the iron boride layer, which showed improved performance compared to the untreated material. Additionally, sliding wear tests were conducted on the borided material, showing that it had improved resistance to wear up to 41 times better than the untreated material.
