Dimensional Stability
Black Oxide adds about 5 to 10 millionths of an inch to the dimension of
a part. It also penetrates to an approximate depth of 5 to 10 millionths
of an inch. |
|
Improved Lubricity
Oil post-treatment not only protect against corrosion,
but the oil itself results in smoother running mating parts. |
|
Anti Galling
Where break-in of mating parts is necessary, the
anti-galling surface lets the outer lubricating layer be
sacrificed during initial contact while work-hardened surfaces
are formed. |
|
Decorative Finish
The resulting lustrous black finish adds visual appeal
and a "quality" image at a very low cost. Hardened
parts (40 Rockwell and above) tend to have glossier finishes.
Softer
parts tend to have matte finishes. |
|
Reduce Light Glare
Moving machined parts, hand tools and surgical instruments
coated with Black Oxide reflect less light and reduce eye
fatigue when used under bright lights. |
|
No Embrittlement
Recent testing has demonstrated that our Black Oxide
process does not create embrittlement of parts. |

Does Black Oxide come in other colors?
No. Black Oxide is a natural reaction of the metal with the Black Oxide
Bath. This finish can vary from shiny parts with a tight smooth and/or
hardened surface to matte part with a porous non-hardened surface. An
oil post-treatment will help give a shiny finish. A wax or rust inhibitor
will make the finish matte. |
|
What does Dry Touch Mean?
This is a subjective term that means something different
to everyone. In the industry it describes the degree of oil
on the surface of the part. An oil finish can give a feel
of no oil, light oil or oily. |
|
Can Stainless Steel Be Black Oxide?
Yes. Stainless Steel can be blackened to Mil-C-13924
Class 4. |
|
Can Copper/Brass/or Bronze be Black
Oxide?
Yes. All three materials can be blackened to Mil
F-495. |
|
Will the Black Oxide coating crack
or fracture if
the part is bent or twisted after Back Oxide?
No. Black Oxide is a integral formed that allows
for forming of the part. |
|
Can Zinc or Chrome plated parts be
Black Oxide?
No. Black Oxide will not blacken over Zinc or Chrome
or any other plating finishes. However, we do have the capabilities
to strip Zinc. |
|
Can blackened parts be replated?
Yes. This can be achieved by stripping the plating
first and then reapplying the Black Oxide Finish. |
