Popis: The inhomogeneous structure of boron-containing iron alloys was studied with the aim of reducing their brittleness. The alloys consisted of 0-8% B and 0-4% C. The effect of cooling rate on microhardness, tendency towards crack formation and eutectic structure of the alloy were studied by light and electron microscopy. Electron diffraction patterns of the phase revealed reflections from an iron monoboride lattice. Photometric evaluations were made of the microphotographs. An increase in the cooling rate during crystallization was found to increase the uniformity of primary phases and eutectic and peritectic structures which may lead to reducing the brittle failure tendency of FE-B-C alloys.
