QPQ Nitrocarburizing Surface Treatment
QPQ Nitrocarburizing is a type of surface treatment used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of metal parts. The process involves heating the metal in a controlled environment, where nitrogen and carbon are introduced to the surface of the metal. This forms a thin layer of a hard compound called "nitrides," which increase the surface hardness of the metal.
During the QPQ Nitrocarburizing process, the metal is immersed in a special salt bath and heated to high temperatures. The salt bath contains a mixture of chemicals that release nitrogen and carbon, which penetrate the surface of the metal. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the nitrogen and carbon penetrate to a specific depth, creating a uniform layer of nitrides on the metal's surface.
The resulting nitride layer provides many benefits to the metal parts, including increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This treatment helps to increase the lifespan and durability of metal parts, making them more reliable and long-lasting.
Any “scuffing” you see in the surface finish is completely normal and will not affect the durability or corrosion resistance of the steel.
Silver Nickel Coating
Nickel coatings are extremely uniform, corrosion and erosion resistant and provide excellent lubricity. Silver Nickel also provides an elevated visual aesthetic.
Black Nickel Coating
Black electroless nickel plating combines the same exceptional deposit properties of traditional electroless nickel plating but with a conductive, black surface finish. It combines the exceptional lubricity, deposit uniformity, hardness, and corrosion resistance of electroless nickel with a fully conductive and uniform black appearance.
Mag Catch Requirement
It is required to swap out your plastic OEM mag catch with either our standard steel mag catch, or our premium steel mag catch. If you don't swap your mag catch, you may experience reliability issues. Using another manufacturer's mag catch may also cause reliability issues. S15 magazines were designed to work with Shield Arms steel mag catches.
