"Carbona bluing is not simply a heat process.
The ovens are heated, PRESSURIZED, and the atmosphere is a CARBON-rich (hence the name Carbona) environment via various forms of charcoal.
In effect, you could say the gun is "plated" with carbon via heat and pressure.

You can see a pic of the ovens in Smith & Wesson, Images of America by Jinks and Krein."
