Black Oxide
What
Black oxide is a chemical process that converts the surface of ferrous metals to magnetite.
Black oxide is a chemical process that converts the surface of ferrous metals to magnetite.
Eliminate Dimensional Change
Because blackening changes the metal’s surface instead of adhering to it, there is no surface build up or distortion. Critical dimensions remain unchanged. Excellent for finishing gauges, cams, bolts, screws, precision machine surfaces, or other close tolerance parts.
Improve Corrosion Resistance
Black finishes absorb final sealants and rust preventatives, keeping them in intimate contact with the metal itself longer than if the preventative was applied directly to bare metal. You can obtain twice the corrosion resistance of a non-blackened surface.
Improve Abrasion Resistance
The anti-galling surface achieved through blackening lets the outer lubricating layer to be sacrificed during contact and abrasion; excellent for break-in.
A Decorative Finish
The pleasing black finish enhances the quality and appearance of many items. The material cost is so low that some use Black Oxide to distinguish between similar parts.
Improve Adhesion Qualities
Because of the surface property-changing effect of blackening, the adhesive qualities of metal are greatly enhanced. Paint and other finishes take a better hold, and last longer.
Reduce Light Glare
Reduced light glare on moving tools and machine parts improves safety and reduces eye fatigue. Blackening also improves the performance of many optical surfaces.
We have an automated line that is specifically designed to handle bulk work and long-run jobs, and a manual line for smaller orders and odd sized parts. Along with large parts, we often process very small pieces. We will blacken anything that fits in the tank.
