Pack bonding - a low cost method to improve the wear resistance of steels / S. Darius Gnanaraj … [et al.]

A relatively new, low cost technique, pack bonding is presented for increasing the wear resistance of steels used in machine components. The borided and unbonded specimens were subjected to wear tests under the same conditions and using a pin-on-disc test rig and the results are compared. Other impo...
