Do they actually harden the steel with the torch? and/or do they heat it up a lot? I'm just asking, because I would like to create actual color case hardening in some cases... but I saw a method with torches once, but I had no doubt at all that the method would have greatly weakened the steel. There was enough heat to completely ruin the temper and people were doing in on firearms. I know that doesn't always matter, because not all parts of a firearm need to be perfectly hardened... but it could cause premature wearing and make the steel susceptible to scratching.

That's nice. I was hoping to find out if it could be used on hardened steel and/or color case hardened steel. That would really suck to have a color case hardened frame, but then have an area where the coloring was removed. At the same time though, having a way to fix it with long term results is really good to have. Has it held up on you over the years? and/or you ever have to redo it? Even if it had to be done every couple years though, I still think it might be worth it if it holds up well. I think that this will give it some rust protection as well.

Looks like Italian "case hardening". Doesn't quite pop like real case hardening nor does it actually harden the steel but if you don't need to harden steel and you want to replicate the Italian look, say restoring a neglected Italian gun, this is certainly the way to do it. I keep this style in mind for my Italian guns. As they wear, I know I can polish and apply this solution and get the results I expect. The butt plate on my Super Match rusted a bit on the toe due to heavy sweat during shooting and I missed wiping that edge with water to remove the salt. The heel of the plate has a brushed finish from sitting vertical upright and a bit of grit got to the plate. Not the end of the world, a once over with various grades of sandpaper then a polish and then this will bring it back to factory new. No big deal.

Приветствую. Настоящая цветная калка - это очень красиво, спору нет. Да и механическая прочность у такого покрытия весьма неплоха - достаточно вспомнить штучные ружья советских времен... А вот имитации... Я, например, их вообще не люблю. Тем паче, учитывая, что техпроцесс цветной калки, с одной стороны, вроде бы, не так уж и сложен (ёмкость с углём, выдержка при определённой температуре, резкое охлаждение), но с другой - качественный результат получается у единичных мастеров. У нас сейчас её не делает, по-моему, уже никто. Старики, кто умел, ушли, а передать своё умение было некому. Поскольку мОлодеж и пОдростки, как 20 - 25 лет назад, так и сейчас, не хотят руками работать... У вас, насколько я знаю, не наберётся и сотни, кто пытается, а тех, у кого что-то приличное получается, так вообще меньше десятка... Хотя оно и понятно - на пластиковой раме её не сделаешь, да и на затворе, на эту раму одетом, она нафиг не нужна... Дюракоат, керамика... Я пару лет назад на выставке в Гостинном дворе просто не мог отойти от стенда каких-то, по-моему, итальянцев, на котором лежал карабин из "артиллерийского" парабеллума (новодел, причём) в гравировке и цветной калке...

I'm not sure it could be of use, but I feel like I should return the favor and tell you about something I accidently came across. I'm not sure what you would use it for, but here goes : Take some rusty metal ( but smooth - not too rusty ) and apply some paint to it in several thick layers. Let it set ouside for a month or two in the elements. Let it rust. Peel the paint off, and you have strips of actual rust stuck to the back of the strips like rusted tape. You can then apply it to areas you want to have a rusty texture, but without actually damaging the item with rust. Do I have any examples or videos ? Sorry - no. As of now, I have not created any rust strips. It's just something I happened to come across on some old lawn chairs and thought might be useful.

You did a great job! I've been experimenting with a similar process, but unfortunately my color patters are drowned out by a strong brown overtone. No idea how to get the brown overtone to go away, or lessen so I can see my color pattern. Any tips? If you need to see it, I made a video, I'll just need to upload it. Thanks.

This video was about creating a similar effect without actual case hardening. This was not a video showing how case hardening is done. If the video was about case hardening then it would have been a video about that. To tell you the truth I am a little confused by the question.

Great question. True color case hardening requires a furnace/kiln and materials to achieve this effect. This is a relatively cheap and simple way to simulate case hardening on a budget and takes A LOT less time.

@@James-fs4rn in color case hardening the different colors are achieved by having different amount of heat in different spots on the workpiece. The parts are packed with charcoal and other materials into a sealed container which then goes into the kiln at a certain temp for a certain time. Then the parts are dumped into water. You can find videos on the process.

Thanks man this lead me to this I picked up, If any one wants to get that on high polished gun steel and wants a high colour finish, when using the bud dip in super blue then take some very fine steel wool and brake the strands to make it less compacated and put the steel wool on the bit you want to colour and rub the bud on the steel wool on the gun steel and rub in for 4 to 5 seconds then use a fresh bit of wool and new bud to start the chemical reaction over again till your happy with the end finish, then rub light with fine steel wool and finish with some protective gun oil 👍 I had no look with this but figured this little trick what might be what some are looking for. 😁

Unfortunate that the actual color case hardening lost the color. This method could be used to fake it, but I think you may want to lacquer over it to keep the colors longer. Try on some spare parts or hidden areas first.

It actually gives you quite a bit of time. Most of the video was real speed, some was 2x. Of course practice would make it better. I discovered the effect yesterday and produced it for the first time while actually trying today. It would be a good exercise for someone to first learn how these colors behave, and then using a picture of real color case hardening as a template to try and reproduce the pattern.
