Black Oxide Coating

Black coating or blackening is a conversion coating applied on steel, aluminium and other metals. It is used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection on parts.

Design Considerations

Black oxide is not a deposit type coating, therefore unlike anodizing, it results in minimal dimensional change to the part.

Black Oxide FAQs

Black oxide adds a mild layer of corrosion and abrasion resistance to fasteners. Like any material, black oxide treated fasteners can rust in the right environments.

Black oxide coating provides a uniform black surface that is corrosion and somewhat scratch resistant. It is used mostly for moving parts that cannot tolerate a dimensional change and to decrease light reflection.
