QPQ Nitrocarburizing Surface Treatment:
- QPQ Nitrocarburizing is a type of surface treatment used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of metal parts. The process involves heating the metal in a controlled environment, where nitrogen and carbon are introduced to the surface of the metal. This forms a thin layer of a hard compound called "nitrides," which increase the surface hardness of the metal.
- During the QPQ Nitrocarburizing process, the metal is immersed in a special salt bath and heated to high temperatures. The salt bath contains a mixture of chemicals that release nitrogen and carbon, which penetrate the surface of the metal. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the nitrogen and carbon penetrate to a specific depth, creating a uniform layer of nitrides on the metal's surface.
- The resulting nitride layer provides many benefits to the metal parts, including increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This treatment helps to increase the lifespan and durability of metal parts, making them more reliable and long-lasting.
- Any “scuffing” you see in the surface finish is completely normal, and will not affect the durability or corrosion resistance of the steel.
Mag Catch Requirement:
It is required to swap out your plastic OEM mag catch with either the Shield Arms standard steel mag catch or their premium steel mag catch. Here's why. If you don't swap your mag catch you may have reliability issues. If you use another manufacturer's mag catch you may have reliability issues. Gen 2 and 3 magazines were designed to work with the Shield Arms steel mag catches. If you have a first generation aluminum mag catch, it is required to upgrade to one of their steel mag catch offerings.
These magazines are RESTRICTED in some states. Your order will be CANCELLED if you are in a high-capacity restricted state.
Any warranty issues with the S15 Starter Kit must be handled directly with Shield Arms.
