Parkerising technique

Hi there, all,   :wave:   :wave:   :wave: 

Nobody has answered the question in my earlier post - does this process cause the component to 'grow'?  :scratch:   :scratch:   :scratch: 

For example, if the part has a screw thread, do you have to mask it to preserve the fit?

Sid_Vicious:
Since parkerizing is used a lot on guns I don't think the parts grow much, The toleranses on weapons is pretty close so that should not cause problems.

redshift:
As it happens I will be doing a few items at the back end of next week , I will measure carefully
and report back.
Regards
Dave

Sid & Redshift,

Thank you both.

I haven't measured any samples yet, but one manual says roughly "100C 20 minutes phosphating will make 0,005 - 0,010 mm thick layer" and barel is plugged. Bluing at 150C 30 min will etch 0,001 - 0,005 mm. Phosphating will increase dimensions and bluing will decrease. Now, those are linear dimensions, I would think that threads and edges are more prone to etching...but often corners are starved on additional methods...Hmm :coffee: This needs an experiment. I can not guess it offhand.
