Can that be done to aluminum Coal Creek Armory is proud to offer the ultimate black "finish" for your steel firearms - Melonite QPQ™.
In a molten bath of special salts, nitrogen, carbon, and small amounts of oxygen are diffused into the surface of the steel, creating a super-hard surface, called the "compound layer."
Melonite QPQ™ can be used on both carbon steel and stainless steel.

last I heard is that they have a special process to do it/have a different finish other than melonite. You might want to contact CCA and see what they say. on a side note they offer baked finishes that I have heard are extremely tough as well, CCA are gtg and very pleasant to deal with. |

I like the Molly Resin coat the Anvil Arms use.

Nope.. melonite/nitriding can't be done to aluminum |
