I think I am understanding the wiki on the PVD process (uhh..I think.)
I wonder how does the tinite adhere to the bushing?
Is it flaking off in those pictures? One article suggests that thicker coatings will flake but the thinnest coating will not.
The eggshell analogy was very interesting. It sounds like the TiN cracks under the force of the pliers and is not actually adhering to the steel?

Thank you BMCM for your kindness in teaching us!
