Ferro Boron

Ferro Alloys

Ferroboron (FeB) is a ferroalloy consisting of iron and boron. The metal usually contains 17.5% to 20% boron and is used to produce boron steels. Ferro boron is used in welding electrodes primarily as a coating ingredient (often in powder form) to improve arc stability, bead formation, and mechanical properties like hardness and wear resistance in the deposited metal. It acts as a boron additive and strong deoxidizer, enhancing the strength and toughness of welds.
