Cerakote Ceramic Coating Corrosion Test ASTM B117 

Totally not biased

and a question for you. A lot of treatments you tested here are not designed to work without being oiled - they are designed to capture oil for rust protection. Were they oiled for the test?

You can’t take this video seriously. This video is made by cerakote. They did the same test with nitron vs cerakote. Where nitron would win every time but it still somehow lost. Because of the nastiest nitron finish job I’ve ever seen. But what I’m saying is cerakotes videos are set up so they come out on top every time.

What about titanium nitride?

Yall sleeping on that fail zero bcg

what about nitrocarburizing?

proper stainless steel and not marketing shit is needed

Failsafe looks good at the end...

How much is your product when shipped in Philippines?

Cerskote gets dinged and chipped by ejecting brass alone. I have cerakoted firearms from the factory, all chip and ding from ejecting brass alone, so it's not a strong, durable finish. PVD is much more durable, and nitron or phosphate are the best-looking finishes imo. I love silky smooth satin gray military looking finishes on quality firearms. Cerakote does prevent corrosion well, though, but many others do as well. Sigs nitron and glocks old tennifer finish on gen 3 and previous are the toughest imo.

How about a normal water test since most guns aren’t subject to salt to get a more real world result. Also oil what’s intended be oiled.

Funny how Cerakote is never tested against Black T.

And if you wanted to support a company that won't sell their entire line of products to law abiding veterans or regular US citizens it may be a good choice. Too bad they don't trust us to buy all their products, so I don't give them by money. (Gen2 Cerokte)

Cerakote is a barbeque paint job. If you like cheap looks go with Cerakote. PVD is a much more technical and smooth finish. It is a thin vapor deposit that takes on the characteristics of the pretreated surface. If you polish the surface PVD will be polished. If you bead blast/satin finish the surface, the PVD treatment will be satin. There is a reason the highest end gun custom makers use PVD. The negatives are if you don't pretreat the surface well.... if the custom maker is starting to lose patience with pre treatment... you will get a poor PVD result... inconsistent appearance... also, it takes on fingerprints readily, which I actually like. It is a wonderful, thin, durable, attractive finish... not like a spray paint, cooked on finish.

Nobody outside the US relies on ASTM anymore. In the civilised world people rely on DIN.

Cerakote cannot be applied to inside of channels - anywhere you cannot spray. So when we speak of corrosion resistance, we need to understand that only the surface is protected. If you let the aggressive environment soak into unprotected places you'll get quick corrosion. Treatments that are applied by submerging or exposing to vapors do not have this limitation.
