Preface

Boriding, as a process of thermochemical treatment, was known for over one hundred years. The intensive development in the techniques of boriding in recent years was the main inspiration to write this book. In the opinion of author, there was a need to exceed the term ‘boriding,’ taking into account all the available techniques which resulted in the formation of boride layers or boride coatings. The distinction between layers and coatings was also necessary. Ther
