Title: Dislocation structure of diffusion layers of boron in iron

OSTI ID:6013590

The fine structure of diffusion layers was investigated making it possible to trace on one specimen the influence of different boron contents on the formation of the structure of iron when all other conditions are identical. Determination of the structure of the specimen beyond the limits of the diffusion zone makes it possible to reveal in pure form the contribution due to the presence of boron. It is shown that the distribution of the microdistortions across the thickness of the layer is characterized by the existence of a maximum near the diffusion line; this is due to the high density of the randomly distributed dislocations on the boundary between the diffusion zone and iron.
