Ferroboron
Ferroboron is a boron–iron alloy used to introduce boron into steels to improve hardenability and control microstructure.
Description
Added in small quantities, boron affects transformation behavior in certain steels. Particle size and addition point are determined according to the steelmaking route and specification.
Applications
- Alloying in special steels and boron-treated grades
- Composition control in foundry practice
- Modifier in powder metallurgy blends
Packaging
- Bagged or bulk on pallets with product labels
- Protect from moisture and oxidation during storage
- Handle to prevent spillage and contamination
Storage
- Store in a dry, covered warehouse
- Keep packaging sealed until use
- FIFO to maintain consistent alloy properties
