Abstract: An investigation was made on the effects of the boriding process and of quenching and tempering after boriding on the microstructure, hardness and wear of AISI 5140 steel. In this study, a new boriding agent (Baybora®–1) developed for the solid boriding method was used. It was observed that the wear resistance of the borided samples increased by about four times, but the wear resistance of the sample subjected to quenching and tempering after boriding increased by only about two times. Thus, it was determined that quenching and tempering after boriding worsen wear resistance.
