TL;DR: In this article, the scratch tests were performed over the surface of the nickel boride layer-substrate systems using a Rockwell-C diamond indenter with a continuously increasing normal force from 1 to 80 n, whereas the behavior of the coefficient of friction and the residual depth as a function of the scratch length were monitored during the tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, the wear resistance of nickel boride layers under dry sliding conditions were obtained in the powder-pack process using the depth-sensing Vickers microindentation technique to determine indentation properties such as Young's modulus, residual stresses and fracture toughness.

TL;DR: In this article, the tribological performance of borided and untreated AISI H13 steels under dry and lubricated conditions was studied by reciprocating sliding wear tests, conducted with an alumina ball establishing a sliding distance of 100m and a speed of 30mm s−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth kinetics of nickel boride layers on an Inconel 718 superalloy were obtained by means of the powder-pack boriding process at 1173 −1223 K with different exposure times for each temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, the sliding wear resistance under dry and wet conditions of cobalt boride layer exposed to a diffusion annealing process (DAP) were estimated in a ball-on-flat configuration using a constant normal force.
