The purpose of this work is to incorporate boriding and austempering treatments in a single thermal cycle and assess its effect on two high strength bainitic steels. The combined process, called boro-austempering, is a promising alternative to increase the surface wear resistance of advanced high strength steels as shown in the test results presented.
