1. GENEREL INFORMATION ABOUT CHROMIUM BORIDE (CRB , CRB2 )
Borides of transition metals have attracted considerable interest for their various unique properties. Among these borides, chromium boride (CrB) is currently of great technological importance because of its high melting point, high chemical stability, high hardness and strength. So it has found applications in structure materials.
Chromium borides are used in plasma technology and for high-performance electrodes in electron microscopes, metal matrix composites (MMCs), cutting tools and cermets for machining aluminum.
For the CrB system, six chromium borides (Cr2B, Cr5B3,CrB, Cr3B4, CrB2, and CrB4) shown in next figure . Among them,CrB2 is the most stable compound with a melting point of 2200 C and is a potential candidate as the structural material, hard coating on cutting tools, and protective layer on mechanical parts to resist wear and corrosion.

2.1. MECHANOCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS
Ball-milling of elemental powder mixtures without external heat application
has been processed as a mechanism for the mechanochemical synthesis of high
melting point compounds.
Chromium and amorphous boron elemental powder mixtures at atomic ratios
of 1:1 and 1:2 were processed for 10-40h in a planetary ball-mill. CrB2 was
formed at a low yield after 10-30h of milling the 1:2 mixture using tungsten
carbide balls. However, a single phase of CrB2 was found by XRD, after the
as-milled Cr-B (1:2) mixture was annealed at 900 C for 2h. A single phase of
CrB was formed by annealing the Cr-B (1:1) mixture at 1000 C for 2h. Ball-
milling of the elemental powder mixtures before annealing significantly
reduced the reaction temperature necessary for chromium boride synthesis. The
as-milled Cr-B (1:2) mixture contained fewer contaminations (tungsten and
cobalt) than the as milled Cr-B (1:1) mixture. The lattice parameters of the
chromium borides obtained agree with previously reported measurements.

2.2. SOLID STATE REACTION
Chromium boride powders can be synthesized at 600 C through a solid-state reaction. The synthesis is carried out in an autoclave by using CrCl3 , Mg and
MgB2 as reactants.The Xray powder diffraction pattern indicates the formation
of orthorhombic CrB. Trassion electron microscopy image shows that typical
CrB crystallites are compossed of floss-like particles with less than 10 nm in
diameter and about 50-100 nm in leght.

2.3. MOLTEN SALT METHOD
A molten salt (anhydrous aluminum trichloride) method to prepare CrB
nanorods via a reductionboronation route at 650 C in an autoclave be described as follows,
CrCl3 + B + 3Na CrB +3NaCl
Below the temperature of 500 C, the weight gain almost has not changed. From 500 to 1000 C, the weight gain of CrB nanorods experiences four different steps. Below
the temperature of 630 C, the weight gain increases gradually, which indicates that the sample is oxidized by oxygen slowly forming chromium oxide and
boron oxides.
When the temperature is within 630660 C, the weight gain increases significantly indicating that the sample is oxidized rapidly forming oxide layer
gradually at the surface of the nanorods.

2.3. MOLTEN SALT METHOD
If the temperature was higher than
700 C, the diameters of the CrB nanorods increased obviously. An
optimum reaction temperature for
the CrB nanorods was about 650
C. The reaction time must be sufficient to ensure the process of
boronation. It was found that 10 h
was needed for the synthesis of
nanorods.

2.4. LOW TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS OF CHROMIUM BORIDES
Commercially available chromium acetate, Cr(CH3COO)3 and boron powder
were used as starting materials. The boron powder was purified by refluxing in
acid to an ethanolic solution of chromium acetate, boron was added .The
resulting dispersion was sonicated for 2 h and evaporated to make a dry mass.
The product was further annealed in inert atmosphere under three different
conditions (i) 400 C for 12 h, (ii) 600 C for 12 h and (iii) 400 C for 6 h and
subsequently at 1000 C for 12 h in an argon atmosphere.

a - On heating the mixture of chromium acetate and boron at 400 C, powder X-ray diffraction shows the formation of poorly crystalline CrB .
b - Further heating of the product at 600 C leads to improvement in the crystallinity.

2.5. CHROMIUM BORIDES BY COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS INVOLVING
BOROTHERMIC AND ALUMINOTHERMIC REDUCTION OF CR2O3
A variety of transition metal borides have been produced from their constituent
elements through combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-
temperature synthesis (SHS). When direct combustion between the metal and
boron is not feasible due largely to insufcient exothermicity, the SHS process
involving borothermic reduction of metaloxides has been considered as an
alternative of preparing the corresponding chromium borides.
On the preparation of chromium borides, CrB2 has been the most produced
phase. Obtained CrB and CrB2 in pure form by milling chromium and boron
powders in a planetary ball mill for 2040 h, followed by annealing at 900
1000 C for 2 h. Conducted borothermic reduction of Cr2O3 at 1600 C to produce CrB2.
Through self-propagating combustion involving reduction of Cr2O3 by
amorphous boron.

2.5. CHROMIUM BORIDES BY COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS INVOLVING
BOROTHERMIC AND ALUMINOTHERMIC REDUCTION OF CR2O3
Chromiumoxide Cr2O3 ,amorphous boron, and Al powders were employed as
the starting materials to prepare two types of the powder mixtures.
One is composed of Cr2O3 and boron with a molar composition of Cr2O3+ xB.
The other type of the sample adopts Al as the reducing agent and is formulated
by the molar proportion of Cr2O3+ 2Al + yB . The synthesis process of the
Cr2O3B sample essentially combines the reduction of Cr2O3 by B to form
elemental Cr and B2O3 as a by product and the interaction between the reduced
Cr and B to yield boride compounds. On the other hand, chromium borides are
produced along with Al2O3 from the samples containing Cr2O3, Al, and B
powders. The following reactions are two examples of the formation of CrB
and CrB2 from stoichiometric Cr2O3B and Cr2O3AlB samples, respectively.
CrO3 + 4B 2CrB + B2O3
Cr2O3 + 2Al + 4B 2CrB2 + Al2O3
