[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 924042, member: 22069"] I am aware of the melonite/nitriding process, but I have understood that as something that provides increased lubricity and resistance to throat erosion. What little I know about that had me thinking of it as a better alternative to moly, but that is about all I know on the subject. I have never seen it discussed as having anti-corrosive properties, though I suppose that might make sense. Are you privy to any information regarding the anti-corrosive properties of such a treatment? I have only heard of this being applied to internal surfaces. Is it commonly used to coat everything? If not, it would seem that having internals nitrided and externals coated with something else would be a much more expensive alternative to stainless. [/QUOTE]
