Gents;
A very good friend in Ethan Mackey has what I would consider, the best looking suspension pieces I have ever seen. The Process is called Salt Bath Nitriding:
- A unique process that produces an aesthetic black finish, enhancing corrosion and wear resistance.
- Ideal substitute for nickel and chrome plating applications.
- Used to enhance the metallurgical properties of all ferrous metal components, including cast irons and stainless steels.
- SBN-QPQ is a salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing process which meets or exceeds the quality requirements of AMS 2753.
Ethan reports it is EXTREMELY durable, and modestly priced.
I have had several venders do electroless Ni, resulting is varying degrees of appearance, compounded with light rust pitting from beneath.
Q: Any reports on the process, pros and cons;
Q: Can it be applied over electroless Ni;
