Magnetic Properties of Borided Co-Cr-Mo Alloy

The magnetic properties of a borided Co-Cr-Mo alloy were studied in this work. The boron process was performed by the powder pack method with Ekabor HM and Ekabor III boron sources at 1123 and 1323 K for 9 h. The magnetic properties were characterized with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the non-magnetic Co-Cr-Mo alloy has a low magnetization with the boriding process. In addition, the saturation magnetization (Ms) varies with the boron source and temperature.
