Reid, D K

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for boronizing metal and in particular ferrous surfaces. It has been discovered that if hydrocarbons are processed in metallic equipment which have been previously boronized, that coke formation and deposition which is commonly experienced at high temperatures can be minimized if not totally eliminated. The compositions utilized for this purpose are comprised of boron or boron compounds contained in an organic solvent or carrier together with specific activating materials.
