Abstract
Cast iron stands out because to a desired mix of mechanical, industrial, and financial advantages. They are typically used in machinery, including driving shafts, ball mills, pulling devices, tool guides, and parts for the automotive, mining, and farms that are subject to abrasive wear. The surface of the part gradually loses material due to abrasive wear.
Iron's wear resistance can be enhanced by several thermal processes and surface techniques, like carburizing, nitriding, and laser processing, each with some limitations and disadvantages. Cast iron can be a suitable material for boronizing. Boriding enables the formation of desirable phases of FexBy or MxBy in the boride layer.
