Hot dip galvanizing and boronizing are two different processes that involves coating of a base metal or alloy to enhance its life to a significant extent. Both the process forms a protective surface layer on the chosen base metal or alloy but each of the processes are completely different from each other. To learn about the difference between these two processes, let us delve a bit deeper into each process. 

Hot Dip Galvanizing 

Hot dip galvanizing is a process in which the base metal usually steel is dipped into a bath of molten zinc at high temperatures of about 450 degrees Celsius or 840 degrees Fahrenheit. Before dipping, the base metal or steel is cleaned in a caustic solution for removal of dirt and then passed through an acidic solution for removing flakes of iron oxide. The base metal is further cleaned with the help of a chemical cleaning agent like ammonium chloride so that the bonding of the base metal with zinc can be better. 

Boronizing

Boronizing, on the other hand, is process of surface hardening of steel. It is a thermo chemical process for hardening the surface of the base metal usually steel. In this process, boron is added to the base metal or alloy where the atoms of boron are diffused into the surface of the base metal. 

Difference in Functionality

Now, we are clear with the differences between the two processes. Next, we would be learning about the functional differences or the beneficial difference between hot dip galvanizing and boronizing. 

• Hot dip galvanization of steel helps in the improvement of the corrosion resistance capacity of steel of aby other base metal used. But on the other hand, boronizing case hardens the base metal, thereby providing even higher or superior corrosion resistance. 
• Boronizing plays a vital role prevention of wear and tear of the base metal, thereby making sure that the base metal becomes highly durable in nature. Reduced wear and tear provide the base metal with great capacity to withstand any external elements without any kind of compromise in the functionality of the base metal so boronized.  
• Hot dip galvanization only helps in the improvement of the corrosion resistance capacity of the base metal. But boronizing not only case hardens the surface of the base metal but also plays a significant role in improving the temperature stability along with several other mechanical properties of the base metal.
