Additionally, chemical composition optimization was made. Furthermore, the effect of boron addition on such applica- tions was investigated. Samples were investigated by using optical and electron microscope methods. Hardness, wear and impact tests were conducted. The results showed that the secondary carbides in the standard alloy were iron-enriched, needle-like carbides M3C when the boron-added alloy contained Fe23 （C, B）6 type, globular secondary carbides. It was concluded that heat treatment B provided higher wear and hardness properties, compared to the stand- ard heat treatment. Optimum mechanical properties were obtained by lower destabilisation temperatures and increasing temperature reduced the wear resistance and hardness.展开更多
