NiB and fail zero are the same thing not sure what exactly BCM's ionbond does though

Ion bond is a coating deposited in a chamber by vapor deposition. Nickel boron is a plating deposited by a chemical bath

Didn't I hear they quit making ionbond? BCM anyway.

Ok so the application process is different.
Is one better than the other? |

The Ion Bond was reported as " Absorbs oil and retains lubricating benefits longer". These other coatings may be slick and I own a Spike's chrome bolt which is very easy to clean and works great, but I like the idea of Ion Bond holding the lube. Metal on metal is wear and tear |

NiB is better. The Ion Bond retains lube, NiB doesn't need lube. I still but a light coat on mine from time to time but I have shot many many rounds through it with no lube at all, in fact they suggest it. It ain't cheap, but to me it's worth it for what I do with my rifle.
