What is Black Oxide?
Black oxide is a conversion coating formed by a chemical reaction between the metal surface and the oxygen in the air. The reaction produces a thin layer of oxide that is black in color. Black oxide is commonly used to protect ferrous metals from corrosion and oxidation. It can also be used to improve the appearance of the metal surface and to increase its resistance to wear and abrasion.
Black oxide coatings can be applied to steel, cast iron, magnesium, copper, and brass. The thickness of the black oxide coating depends on the type of metal and the method of application. Black oxide coatings can be applied with chemicals, heat, or electricity.
Black oxide is not a protective coating in itself, but it can be used in conjunction with other coatings, such as paint or oil, to improve the overall protection of the metal surface.
