	Parkerizing
		Parkerizing - the good stuff otherwise known for Automotive and Motorcycle (and useful for) as Phosphating and/or Phoshatizing, where outside of the Gun industry, Parkerizing is an unknown, and is generally a do-it-yourself project with the right equipment.
		Zinc Parkerizing has been discontinued due to it as a modern solution is much more elaborate to use and like Manganese leaves a toxic residue, replaced by better phosphate and better Manganese.
		"Parkerize" and "Parkerizing" are equivelant terms of phosphate and phosphating as well as phosphatizing derived from the former Parker Chemical Co., which was the inventor of the process: less expensive, more rugged, and more rust resistant than bluing.

	Parkerizing
		Observations indicate the color of the Parkerized finish varied with the conditions under which the Parkerizing was applied, the era of the rifle's manufacture and the condition and length of time they were stored.
		Specific factors affecting the color resulting from the Parkerizing process include the type of phosphate used, the temperature and duration of the process, the saturating oil bath, and the preservative coating's reaction on the com-pounds contained in the Parkerizing.
		The frequently encountered, dark green Parkerized finish is believed to be primarily a result of the compounds present in the Parkerized finish chemically reacting to the Cosmoline used for corrosion prevention during long term storage.

		Parkerizing is a very simple immersion process requiring the solution to be heated to approximately 190-210 degrees and the dipping time can range from 5-45 Minutes or so, depending on the hardness of the metal and the desired thickness of the coating.
		Parkerizing is much easier to use than bluing and because it is a Matte Finish the parts or items you want to Parkerize do not have to be polished, they can be acid dipped, sanded, bead blasted or sand blasted.
		Compare our parkerizing products to others on the market, we think you will find that ounce per ounce our products and supplies will make more solution and is the most cost effective Concentrate available today.

		Parkerizing (or Phosphating as it is also known) gained popularity during WWII when the US military adopted the finish as a replacement for conventional bluing.
		The Parkerizing technique is a Phosphate etching process that produces a hard Matte or Dull finish that is both very Durable and Anti-reflective.
		Any additional polishing or pitting removal will be extra.

	24hourcampfire: Parkerizing VS Bluing
		Parkerizing does slightly etch the steel, but it also coats it by depositing manganese and zinc phosphates on the surface that bond to the steel.
		Parkerizing steel is somewhat analogous to Anodizing amuminum.
		Parkerizing is done at a much lower temperature, and takes less time in the tank than hot bluing, and unless I’m misinformed the bores are plugged with wooden plugs when being Parkerized to protect the bore from the solution.

		Parkerizing (also called phosphating and phosphatizing) is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of an electrochemical conversion coating.
		Parkerizing is usually considered to be an improved zinc or manganese phosphating process, and not to be an improved iron phosphating process, although some use the term parkerizing as a generic term for applying phosphating (or phosphatizing) coatings that does include the iron phosphating process.
		Parkerizing is commonly used on firearms as a more effective alternative to bluing, which is another electrochemical conversion coating that was developed earlier.

	Parkerizing (Mark Serbu; Dave M)
		Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 00:54:54 GMT to expand a bit: "Parkerizing" became a broad generic term for a whole variety of conversion coatings, and it's been difficult to ascertain what any one individual really meant by the term.
		The Manganese based products tended to be the stronger anti-corrosives and anti-galling coatings, and were generally fl-ish colors, although the chemistry of the bath and the treated metal occasionally produced colors ranging from dark greeny-grey to a fl with a real purple cast to it.
		If the CPR was Parkerizing locomotives, I'd guess it was a pre-paint treatment on the streamlined or semi-streamlined boiler lagging, cabs, etc, and done warm or hot with a spray.

		The Parkerizing process is different from the bluing process (which is essentially a pre-rusting/ oxidising of the steel surface) in that Parkerizing is actually a manganese- phosphate coating that chemically bonds to the surface of the steel.
		Parkerizing bonds best onto a bead blasted surface, the finish is a matt non-glare coating, that is microscopically porous.
		Parkerizing has long been used as a military coating, and while not being as attractive to some as bluing, it is an excellent choice for hunting guns being far more durable than all of the types of bluing.

		I used to heat the Parkerizing solution in the glass cooking pot on top of the kitchen stove and park all kinds of small parts over the oven.
		A virgin mix of Parkerizing should be properly aged once before ever using it, otherwise the first few parts may not come out thoroughly covered as well as later parts.
		If I'm Parkerizing a lot of parts, I would toss the parts into a bucket of Hot water until I finish a batch of parts, then I would pull them out of the Hot water bucket one by one and blast them with air from my air compressor nozzle.

		Parkerizing (sometimes called phosphating) is a method of protecting steel surfaces from corrosion and thus increasing their durability.
		Parkerizing is considerably less efficient at preventing corrosion unless the treated surface is kept covered with a light coating of oil (a heavy coating is unnecessary and undesirable).
		The method was developed for the United States military during World War II by the Parker Company.

		The parts should be totally immersed in the solution, being careful that anywhere the wire touches the part won’t show on the finished part (usually easy to do – like in the firing pin hole of a bolt).
		The part(s) to be Parkerized should be totally "de-greased" and sand or bead blasted prior to finishing (depending on the texture you desire on the finished part).
		You can keep Parkerizing as long as the solution is hot, but allowing it to get cold kills it – you’ve gotta’ brew up a new solution and start from scratch.

		It will have to be sanded or beadblasted off, then several grades of polishing compound on sisal or flannel polishing wheels will need to be used to bring up whatever grade of bright finish you want.

		Parkerizing is a method of placing either a manganese or phospate coating to the metal.
		Bluing uses an acid to color the metal where as parkerizing actually adds to the metal a layer of built up manganese or phospahate.
		There are so many different kinds and types of bluing, and of parkerizing, that there probably too many variables to give a simple answer anyway.

		Parkerizing, or phosphate coatings, have been used for over 200 years in various forms due to their oil trapping, non-reflective characteristics when used in severe weather conditions.
		Typical Parkerizing finished color is dark gray but may vary based on the type of alloy in the steel.
		Color variations are achieved primarily by use of different lubricants such as Cosmoline@, linseed oil, gun oil etc. Brass, aluminum and stainless steel may not be Parkerized.
