Black Oxide Surface Treatments



We recently sent out parts for black-oxide treatment.  This process has many advantages such as:
- No dimensional changes (+ or -) to the part
- The finish will not chip or peel
- Improved lubricity
- No hydrogen embrittlement
- Withstand temperatures to 900 degrees F. (482 C.)
We recommend an oil, wax or lacquer seal for corrosion protection after black oxide.
Call us at (800)833-6417 for questions on our surface treatment availability for your finished parts.
