What is Nickel Boron Coating – Interview w/ Wynn Atterbury of WMD Guns

By John Crump

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Nickel boron coating on firearms parts is all the rage and for good reasons. The first thing the coating does is cut down on friction. It accomplishes this feat by cutting down on the surface-to-surface contact between the siding parts of the firearm by using the columnar growth (imagine columns on a microscopic level) of the nickel boron.

The rounded shape of the nickel boron also dissipates heat better than other material. This heat dissipation saves the firearm from wear and tear. With less wear and tear on the firearm along the reduced friction, you get a gun that is less likely to have a malfunction and will last longer.

One of the pioneers in the field of nickel boron is WMD Guns. They have developed their own high-end type of nickel boron coating called “NiB-X.” Not all nickel boron coating methods are the same. Some companies just dip their firearm parts in a nickel boron compound and then ship it out. While other companies employ people, who hold a PhDs in chemistry or metallurgy, to help with the application process.

WMD Guns is one of the companies that …Read the Rest
