[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3071387, member: 98000"] Bamban, Yeah, looks like you found the issue the hard way. Small parts and sharp edges is generally where issues will show up first. I think parts that have inherited a lot of machining stress during the manufacturing process do not tolerate the process very well unless they are stress relieved before being nitrated. I have seen similar issues on both button and hammer forged barrels that aren't properly stress relieved. I have also seen failures with hardchromed bores also due to embrittlement. Robby Barkman (Robar) used to tell me that he felt that hardchrome and Tenifer/ Melonite, had the potential to be catastrophic unless done correctly. Robby is a smart SOB and cut his teeth in the aerospace coatings industry and knew of which he spoke. [/QUOTE]
