AbstractIn this study, different rates of boron at 1635 ºC were added to the AISI 1040 steel using the induction furnace. The casting process was melted and cooled in air to 40x40 mm thick ceramic ceramic molds heated up to 850 ºC. The obtained 40x40 mm square materials were rolled in 2 passes and deformation was applied at about 200-300%. Parts with a 15x15x10 mm were cut and sanded. The effects of boron on the wear behavior, which were added to the samples under 10 N load test and added at different rates, were examined by optical microscope.
