Support The Forums:
The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship. If you enjoy the forums and you'd like to help offset the cost, please consider a venmo donation hereOFCC University - Metallurgy 102 (External Coatings)

Re: OFCC University - Metallurgy 102 (External Coatings)
Given the higher cost of utilizing Co over Cr, their pricing don't seem too "over the top," and I think (accurately or not) that their use of "triple hard" Cr denotes the presence of more of the appropriate hardening impurities.One of my Arsenal machined underfolder AKS-47s had previously been considered for plating, but I ultimately decided against it due to the (minimal) danger of damage that H2 embrittlement entailed. I appreciate the responses as well because they supported my worries and made me more confident in my choice. Would you mind describing the difference in relative hardness between cold-rolled 70/30 cartridge brass and low carbon steel while we're "talking shop"?
