In this study, the effects of process current density and bath temperature on the electrochemical boriding of steel substrates were systematically investigated. The objective was to evaluate the hardness, thickness, and morphology of the boride layer under varying operational conditions. The methodology involved conducting electrochemical boride coating experiments at different current densities ranging from 50 to 700 mA/cm² and bath temperatures from 800 to 1000°C, while maintaining a constant electrolyte composition and electrolysis time. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to identify the resulting phases of FeB, Fe₂B, and Fe₃B. The results indicated that the hardness of the boride layer achieved approximately 1800 HV at the surface, gradually decreasing towards the substrate. The optimal conditions for effective boriding of low-alloy steel were determined to be a current density of 200 mA/cm² combined with a bath temperature of 900°C, ensuring a balance of homogeneity and economies in energy consumption, and stability of the electrolyte component.
