I would also like to know more about the thickness of the hard chrome used in the test. I do electroless nickel plating in my garage. According to a company that does nitrocarburization, QPQ has about 4 times the corrosion resistance of nickel (which has slightly more corrosion resistance than hard chrome). But they didn't specify the thickness of the nickel plate. I know that I can get 1/4 mil to rust pretty quickly. However, I can't get 2 mils to rust. But I could get my QPQ'd Glock slide to rust.
I downloaded them to my work PC. I may have placed them on my thumb drive. I'll e-mail you what I've found.
