I don't believe they can be used for bluing, only the KNO3. Sodium Nitrate is used in processed meats. This infomation is what I received when I typed in the various nitrates in Ask Jeeves- Ask.com David

Chille was at least at some point in time a major supplier of Sodium Nitrate so it has often been referred to as Chile Saltpeter. Any of the three can be used in Hot Salt bluing & are sometimes mixed. I have no idea though as to whether either of the alternates are compatible with Niter Bluing.
