The Tenifer finish on Glock handguns is typically around 5 to 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. This finish, achieved through a nitriding process, enhances the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of the steel. While it is harder than many common materials, it is important to note that it is not as hard as some specialized coatings or materials used in other applications. Overall, Tenifer provides a durable option for firearm finishes.
This scale was proposed by the Austrian geologist Friderich Mohs.
It's called the Ore
Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
The hardness is 3-4 on Mohs scale.
Nickel has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale.
Topaz is number 8 on the Mohs scale.
The Mohs scale compares the hardness of an object or substance.
The softest material in the mohs scale is talc
Azurite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Granite is not assigned a number on the Mohs scale of hardness. The Mohs scale is a measurement of the relative hardness of minerals. Because granite is a rock composed of a variety of minerals, only the individual minerals which compose it have a Mohs hardness.
Friedrich Mohs is famous for creating the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. He formulated a scale of one to ten and assigned each mineral a value. This eventually became the basis for the Mohs scale.
Arkose has a hardness of around 6 on the Mohs scale.
