Glock Ges.m.b.H., an Austrian firearms manufacturer, utilized the Tenifer process until 2010, to protect the barrels and slides of the pistols they manufacture. The finish on a Glock pistol is the third and final hardening process. It is 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) thick and produces a 64 Rockwell C hardness rating via a 500 °C (932 °F) nitride bath ...
Nitriding alloys are alloy steels with nitride-forming elements such as aluminum, chromium, molybdenum and titanium. In 2015, nitriding was used to generate a unique duplex microstructure in an iron-manganese alloy ( martensite - austenite , austenite - ferrite ), known to be associated with strongly enhanced mechanical properties.
The process starts with a standard salt bath nitrocarburizing cycle, which produces a layer of ε iron nitride. [4] Next, the workpiece is mechanically polished; typical polishing processes include vibratory finishing, lapping, and centerless grinding. Finally, the workpiece is re-immersed into the salt quench bath for 20 to 30 minutes, rinsed ...
Titanium nitride (TiN; sometimes known as tinite) is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties.
The frame is made out of a fiber-reinforced polymer while the slide is made of steel. The slide and magazine releases are ambidextrous. The barrel is cold hammer-forged steel with a black nitride finish. [8] The pistol sights are iron with a three-dot system that become night sights after being exposed to light. [9]
The Talon has three varieties, the Talon 5", Talon II and the Talon II with Bobtail. All pistols in the Custom range are fully customizable from finishes to sights to grip design. The pistols are finished using a Nitride coating due to its durability and they range in price from $3000 to $7000. [1] [3]
Case colouring refers to this pattern and is commonly encountered as a decorative finish on firearms. Case-hardened steel combines extreme hardness and extreme toughness, which is not readily matched by homogeneous alloys since hard homogeneous steels tend to be brittle, especially those steels whose hardness relies on carbon content alone.
Initially, the slide and barrel are coated in a black nitride finish, except for a newer FDE model that has a cerakote FDE slide and black nitride barrel. APX A1s, on the other hand, use Beretta's "Aqua Tech Shield" finish that they first used on their shotguns, followed with a Bruniton coat on the slides.
