Is there any new information and processes for nitriding barrel extensions now in 2023? There are several high end manufacturers that use nitride barrel extensions. Are they just modifying the process/temp to ensure a proper rockwell or would the nitride still lower hardness to a measureable degree
I have a vickers hardness tester now.
I can also section parts for internal micro-hardness.
Have you tested any nitride parts with it yet? Bolts or BE's
Got it. I'd offer up a part for testing but the only nitride I have currently is on the barrel extension of the most expensive barrel I own. ...Or at least I think it's nitride....could be black oxide.
