Soluble boron arranges in steels along grain boundaries. This inhibits the γ-α transformations (austenite to ferrite transformation) by diffusion and therefore increases the hardenability, with an optimal range of ~ 0.0003 to 0.003% B. [1] Additionally Fe 2 B has been found to precipitate at grain boundaries, which may also retard the γ-α transformations . [1]
Boriding, also called boronizing, is the process by which boron is added to a metal or alloy.It is a type of surface hardening.In this process boron atoms are diffused into the surface of a metal component.
Principal effects of major alloying elements for steel [2]: 144 Element Percentage Primary function Aluminum: 0.95–1.30 Alloying element in nitriding steels Bismuth — Improves machinability Boron: 0.001–0.003 (Boron steel) A powerful hardenability agent Chromium: 0.5–2 Increases hardenability 4–18 Increases corrosion resistance Copper ...
Boron is added to boron steels at the level of a few parts per million to increase hardenability. Higher percentages are added to steels used in the nuclear industry due to boron's neutron absorption ability. [citation needed] Boron can also increase the surface hardness of steels and alloys through boriding.

The wide absorption spectrum of boron also makes it suitable as a neutron shield. The mechanical properties of boron in its elementary form are unsuitable, and therefore alloys or compounds have to be used instead. Common choices are high-boron steel and boron carbide. The latter is used as a control rod material in both PWRs and BWRs.
Boron nitride tubules were first made in 1989 by Shore and Dolan This work was patented in 1989 and published in 1989 thesis (Dolan) and then 1993 Science. The 1989 work was also the first preparation of amorphous BN by B-trichloroborazine and cesium metal. Boron nitride nanotubes were predicted in 1994 [90] and experimentally discovered in ...
Ferroboron (CAS Registry Number 11108–67-1) is a ferroalloy of iron and boron with boron content between 17.5 and 20%.[1]It is manufactured either by carbothermic reduction of boric acid in an electric arc furnace together with carbon steel, or by the aluminothermic reduction of boric acid in the presence of iron.
