In this study, Fe-Ni binary alloys containing 1, 2 and 4 at. % Ni were prepared under controlled atmosphere conditions and then these alloys along with pure Fe were pack boronized at 1100°C for 3 h. The boronised samples were characterized by SEM, SEM-EDS, XRD and microhardness measurements. The boride layer with saw-tooth morphology on the substrate materials changed to compact morphology and the branchy structure around the boride crystals was formed with the increasing amount of Ni in the substrates. The main boride layer was composed of FeB and Fe2B phases with homogeneously distributed Ni in the main boride layer and accumulation of Ni in the boride layer/substrate was detected for the borided samples. Ni addition was ineffective on microhardness and thickness of boride layer while the thickness decreased with high addition of Ni.
