Friction, as from holster wear, quickly removes cold bluing, and also removes hot bluing, rust, or fume bluing over long periods of use. It is usually inadvisable to use cold bluing as a touch-up where friction is present. If cold bluing is the only practical option, the area should be kept oiled to extend the life of the coating as much as ...

Black oxide is also used to refer to thicker bluing that is black oxide based. "Bluing" is also used to refer to an historical protection against corrosion for steel parts in general, such as used in wind up clocks, firearms, internal gears in fishing reels, and other similar precision-machined steel parts that are subject to corrosion.
Engineer's blue is prepared by mixing Prussian blue with a non-drying oily material (for example, grease).The coloured oil is rubbed onto a reference surface, and the workpiece is then rubbed against the coloured reference; the transfer (by contact) of the pigment indicates the position of high spots on the workpiece or conversely highlight low points.

Despite the case being dismissed in July, Alec Baldwin says the story surrounding the fatal “Rust” shooting has only begun. On the Dec. 16 episode of David Duchovny’s “Fail Better ...
The NaOH (caustic soda) and elevated temperature cause Fe 3 O 4 (black oxide) to form on the surface of the metal instead of Fe 2 O 3 (red oxide; rust). While it is physically denser than red oxide, the fresh black oxide is porous, so oil is then applied as post treatment to the heated part, which seals it by "sinking" into it.
