  2. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    This method was adopted by larger firearm companies for large scale, more economical bluing. It does provide good rust resistance, which is improved with oil. "Rust bluing" and "fume bluing" provide the best rust and corrosion resistance as the process continually converts any metal that is capable of rusting into magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Treating ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

    A standard black oxide is magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), which is more mechanically stable on the surface and provides better corrosion protection than red oxide Fe 2 O 3. Modern industrial approaches to forming black oxide include the hot and mid-temperature processes described below. Traditional methods are described in the article on bluing. They are ...

  4. Rust converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

    Rust converters are chemical solutions or primers that can be applied directly to an iron or iron alloy surface to convert iron oxides into a protective chemical barrier. These compounds interact with iron oxides, especially iron(III) oxide , converting them into an adherent black layer ( black oxide ) that is more resistant to moisture and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is a commonly used metaphor for slow decay due to neglect, since it gradually converts robust iron and steel metal into a soft crumbling powder. A wide section of the industrialized American Midwest and American Northeast , once dominated by steel foundries , the automotive industry , and other manufacturers, has experienced harsh economic ...

    Bluing (steel) is a passivation process in which steel is partially protected against rust Bluing may also refer to: Bluing (fabric), a blue dye used to improve the appearance of fabrics; Bluing (hair), a blue dye used to improve the appearance of hair "bluing" of machine parts to check for tolerances, see engineer's blue

  7. Iron oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_oxide

    Almost all iron ores are oxides, so in that sense these materials are important precursors to iron metal and its many alloys. Iron oxides are important pigments, coming in a variety of colors (black, red, yellow). Among their many advantages, they are inexpensive, strongly colored, and nontoxic. [12] Magnetite is a component of magnetic ...
