We have an FAQ on Black
Oxide which is a quick intro to the subject, D.; further detail
is in the Metal Finishing Guidebook.
Angier's
"Firearm Browning and Bluing" is a classic on the
subject.
Complete detail, however, is not something you can expect from an
internet forum; rather it is something that a gunsmith aspires to
learn from long years of hands-on experience :-)

Bluing on gun barrels is given to give it some amount of rust
protection while at the same time improving the looks.The process is
to oxidize the surface which will take in the color brown or
blue-black.I am a licensed gunsmith and blue expensive guns. This
work needs careful preparation and cannot be done without training.
