As a company that specializes in heat treating tools, one of
our most popular services is black
oxide. MI businesses and industries know they can trust us for this type of
heat treatment. And we can think of several reasons black oxide is a great way
to protect your steel tools and help them last even longer.
For one thing, black oxide offers extra corrosion protection
to the surface of the metal tool. This will help prolong the life of the tool
and the shelf life of any metal parts that are stored away. It also helps with
a part’s lubricity, which means the mating parts of the tool will run smoother.
You will also see added dimensional stability with black
oxide treatment. During the treatment process, the part’s metal surface is
penetrated and that turns the surface metal into an iron oxide. But there will
be no measurable increase in critical dimensions after this treatment is over.
Black oxide also solves glare problems. When you are working
in a factory with bright lights, black oxide will help reduce the glare you can
experience off of these metal tools. This is a great help with eye fatigue,
headaches and other physical ailments that can result from too much glare in
your eyes.
Black oxide is environmentally friendly because it does not
produce any noxious fumes. And black oxide will not change the conductivity of steel
tools either. If you are looking to paint your steel tools, black oxide will
also help paint adhere to the surface of the metal tools better as well.
Plus, black oxide isn’t just functional – it is
aesthetically pleasing too. They add a lovely black finish to your tools, and
this can help with the sales of these tools if you sell them.
