Introduction:

FeB is a magnetic binary iron alloy with typically 17.5-20% boron content used as an alloying agent in steels to improve hot workability, hardenability, creep resistance, and neutron absorption.

It comes in several grades, although predominantly it is produced in two grades, these being 10% Boron and 17% Boron. It will typically be added to steel to form a very strong, highly durable and specialist steel for use across a variety of applications. It as an additive to the production process of amorphous metals that imparts several desirable properties to the new alloy.

Applications:
The following are the common application areas of ferroboron:

To improve the hardenability of C-Mn and low alloy steels
Improvement of steel and nitrogen scavenging
As low loss materials for NdFeB magnets
In the production of low carbon cold working wire rod
In the production of automotive sheet steels
Incorporation into amorphous metal materials for transformer cores
In hot spray painting
Improvement of hardenability of low alloyed steels
In the boration surface treatment of steels
In the reduction of nitrogen
Manufacturing of metallic glass.
