Perguntas frequentes
Does black oxide prevent rust?
It slows corrosion rather than preventing it, and only when sealed with oil or wax. For demanding environments we recommend zinc or nickel plating instead.
Can it be used on stainless?
Yes, using a specific process for stainless steels. It gives a uniform black appearance that is popular on instruments and marine hardware.
Why choose black oxide for precision parts?
Because it adds only 1 to 2 µm, so tolerances and threads are unaffected. Plating would add 10 µm or more and require oversize machining.

Anodizing
Type II and Type III anodizing for aluminium: clear, black and colour finishes with improved corrosion and wear resistance, thickness from 5 to 50 µm.
Hard Anodizing
Type III hard anodizing builds a 25-50 µm ceramic-like oxide layer with up to 500 HV surface hardness for wear-critical aluminium parts.
Bead Blasting
Glass bead blasting for a uniform satin finish on metal and plastic parts. Hides tool marks, prepares surfaces for coating and gives a premium matte look.
Sand Blasting
Sand blasting for surface cleaning, descaling and roughening. Removes rust, scale, old coating and oxide before welding, painting or bonding.
Polishing
Mechanical polishing to mirror and optical finishes: Ra down to 0.05 µm for mould cavities, light guides, medical parts and decorative surfaces.
