Did the germans nickel or chrome plate luger models?
what the difference between 1000 grit and 1000 polished finish on a bowling ball
Brushed nickel has a brushed dull finish. Polished nickel has a smooth shiny surface.
Satin nickel is a dull finish, wheras chrome is shiny. The other difference is satin nickel is grey and chrome is merely reflective and has no color
4340 has a small percentage of chrome in it for a better finish.
The finish. Most people prefer stainless with a high shine (polished) finish. Satin has a dull finish to it (unpolished)
No, BUT the finish do not last as ling as chrome and they look like crap after a few years
Finishes of stainless steel when described as satin or brushed or a little to subjective to be accurate. Usually brushed is polished using an abrasive built to show a directional grain, satin is generally smoother by either using a fine abrasive or using satin brushes that don't really have a grain. Satin is most commonly used for household appliances especially in Europe.
Chrome is a metal, the symbol is Cr. It is used to make the alloy for stainless steel and or plating other metals to give them a high gloss rust resistant finish.
No
Nearly all quality mechanics' tools are made from a chrome-vanadium-steel alloy to give them strength. As a final step in the manufacturing process, the tools are electroplated in some way to keep them from corroding and to give them a shiny, long lasting appearance. On mechanics' tools, the final electroplated finish is usually a bright chrome finish, and sometimes a matte (dull) chrome finish. In recent years Black Chrome has become a popular electroplated finish, and the black chrome mechanics' tools are using that for the final manufacturing process, and they look shiny black in color. To recap: chrome-vanadium describes the alloy of the tool, and black chrome describes the actual color.
Assuming it's a nice finish, polished chrome or brushed nickel you can get more than if it's polished brass. I would compare what Target sells there's for. $15-20?
