Looking for good Specs/Articles/links and in depth technical discussion about the current leading coating technology. If you have any questions comments or whatever please contribute!
It's my understanding that NiB/NiBX is a very hard coating with grain structure more similar to anodizing that looks like a honey comb/matrix of pillars with very round slick domes on the top (surface). But once those "domes" wear are actually pretty rough in texture and still VERY HARD could wear faster and is basically like a sandpaper.
Where as NTFE/ or Robar NP3+ are slightly softer surface plating impregnated with sub micron PTFE/teflon particles, which is supposed to wear ALOT better over time than NiB/X
Some pretty good info here regarding their NP3+

Anyone got any in depth info reviews on Cerakote microslick vs. Robars Rogaurd©/® i know Robar advertises thiers is Moly based is this the case with Cerakotes Micro Slick?
Here is a pretty good article http://www.burlingtoneng.com/wear_resistance.html Mr. Explorecaves posted a few days ago over in the 12" GB thread In regards to QPQ/Melonite/Carbon nitriding we were discussing the barrel finishing processes
Sorry, i just realized this is under the marksmanship group thread. If mod can move it to where they see fit... Maybe the "semi auto" section.. would be more relevant and have better visibility for others. Thanks!
