Abstract

The rate of dissolution of boron nitride in liquid iron and Fe-B alloys has been measured using a volumetric technique. The solution process was found to be diffusion controlled and directly related to the concentration of boron in the liquid metal. Diffusion control was substantiated further by experiments utilizing boron nitride rods which were rotated in liquid iron.
