[Fot] Nitempering

[Terry Stetler]

It’s commonly used in the firearms industry to give corrosion resistance qualities, and wear resistance, mostly on semi auto hand guns.

That’s the extent of my knowledge of the process.

Has anyone here had experience with Nitempering (or Ni-tempering) a.k.a. nitrocarburizing?  It’s closer to Tufftriding than nitriding, apparently and it gives the steel a certain amount of self-lubricating capability.
