Default Nickel plate over color case hardened steel
Can nickel be direcetly plated over color case hardened steel? I would like to refinish a revolver in nickel, but the frame is case hardened. Thanks.

It might be possible, try dipping the part in 50/50 muratic acid and water for a few minutes and then rinse and go to the flash coppper...
I had trouble with tool steel, it would not ever plate...

I have nickel plated a number of shotgun receivers including three Krieghoff K-80's which are case hardened. No problem, just followed the instructions in the plating manual.

I plated 0.5 mils (30 minutes) and had very little problem getting pins and screws to go back in place.

Good luck.
