Iron based machine parts produced by powder metallurgy become widespread in industry. Since these parts are produced from low carbon iron powders, they are used generally in sintered form without a heat treatment. The boronizing method which is already used for hardening of metalsurfaces can be applied to sintered iron based machine parts subjected to friction. With boronizing, which produced hard, low friction coefficient, high wear resistant surfaces under appropriate tribological conditions, resistance to corrosive environment can also be achieved.
