Brownells Surface Hardening Compound, 1 lb Can

The user-friendly compound effectively case-hardens plain and low-carbon alloy steels. It rapidly carburizes surfaces to a uniform depth while maintaining the core's toughness. Additionally, it safeguards delicate, highly finished work and reduces the necessity for remachining. To use, apply the hardening compound to the metal parts, heat to the specified temperature and then quench in oil or water to achieve a professional-grade heat treatment. This process helps maintain the sharpness of expensive drill bits, milling and grinding tools, punches, firing pins, hammer davits, trigger pins, sears and cocking pieces. The compound is water-soluble for easy cleanup. Comprehensive instructions are included.
