    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    Niter and colour case. In the nitre bluing process, polished and cleaned steel parts are immersed in a bath of molten salts—typically potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate (sometimes with 9.4 grams (0.33 oz) of manganese dioxide per pound of total nitrate). The mixture is heated to 310 to 321 °C (590 to 610 °F) and the parts are suspended in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niter

    Niter or nitre [5] is the mineral form of potassium nitrate, KNO 3.It is a soft, white, highly soluble mineral found primarily in arid climates or cave deposits. Historically, the term niter was not well differentiated from natron, both of which have been very vaguely defined but generally refer to compounds of sodium or potassium joined with carbonate or nitrate ions.

    Aqua fortis /spirit of nitre – nitric acid, formed by 2 parts saltpetre in 1 part (pure) oil of vitriol (sulfuric acid). (Historically, this process could not have been used, as 98% oil of vitriol was not available.) Aqua ragia /spirit of turpentine/oil of turpentine/gum turpentine – turpentine, formed by the distillation of pine tree resin.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

    A nitre bed is a similar process used to produce nitrate from excrement. Unlike the leaching-based process of the nitrary, however, one mixes the excrements with soil and waits for soil microbes to convert amino-nitrogen into nitrates by nitrification. The nitrates are extracted from soil with water and then purified into saltpeter by adding ...

    The process of heating steel after it has been hardened, known as tempering, can impart colors to steel ranging from pale yellow "straw" to very light blue. When done for decorative purposes it can be referred to as "Fire bluing", see the article on tempering for pics and more.

  9. Engineer's blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer's_blue

    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.
