CERAKOTE VS. NITRIDE

The Corrosion Resistance King

In a head-to-head test, Cerakote was put up against Nitride in a salt chamber to see which would be the most corrosion-resistant. Each barrel was placed in the salt chamber and after just 8 hours the Nitride finish barrel began to show signs of corrosion. As the test went on, it took a whopping 1,206 hours to show any signs of corrosion.

CERAKOTE VS. CORROSION

The Ultimate Corrosion Test

We put Cerakote, as well as other leading finishes, up against the corrosion for the ultimate test. How long will these finishes last? Watch what happens and find out who Finishes Strong.

CERAKOTE VS. ANODIZING

Cerakote doesn’t affect fatigue properties of aluminum alloys

Due to chemicals used in the process, anodizing offers a very limited color selection while Cerakote offers over 200 unique colors. Unlike anodizing that is known for its drastic color inconsistencies, Cerakote colors are held to a consistency standard of a Delta E of 1 or less. Cerakote does NOT detrimentally impact the fatigue properties of aluminum alloys while anodizing creates a brittle and porous oxide layer and tensile residual stress.

CERAKOTE VS. BLUEING

Tested in The Elements

To show how Cerakote stacks up to traditional blueing we set up a 15 month time-lapse in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. Using two identical bolt-action rifles as our test subject, there was one clear winner: Cerakote.

CERAKOTE VS. HIGH-TEMP POWDER

The Cerakote Advantage

When seeking performance, looks and temperature stability, there is only one coating that stands on the podium for all three at once. Cerakote’s high-temperature coatings are the ultimate solution for parts such as exhausts, headers, turbos and manifolds.
