Razor Blade Coatings - What is used?
Razor Blade Coatings - What is used?
(OP)
I read in an older thread about razor blades being coated with DLC coatings to assist the initial break-in.
Does anyone know if common razor blades (for face shaving, etc., not for paint scraping) are coated with this or other coatings?

RE: Razor Blade Coatings - What is used?
Comercial blades used for chopping fiber for plastic filler use 440C blades that are TiC treated. Actually the Ti in the gas reacts with the C in the alloy to form a surface composite layer. They are honed first, so they dull slightly when treated, but the increased wear resistance is more than worth it.
