The temperature is then set to about 130-150\u00b0C. This leads to the oxidation of the surface and produces a substance known as sodium ferrate. Subsequently, this sodium ferrate is reduced, leading to the formation of the Fe3O4 oxide film on the surface of the components. Typically, the parts are further treated with rust-preventing oil (by immersion or application). The final result is an appearance that resembles something as if it were dyed black.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b4b021 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8b4b021\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c150c41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c150c41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/de.meviy.misumi-ec.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-black-oxide-coating-is-done.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26283\" alt=\"This is the process through which black oxide coating is made\" srcset=\"https:\/\/de.meviy.misumi-ec.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-black-oxide-coating-is-done.webp 910w, https:\/\/de.meviy.misumi-ec.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-black-oxide-coating-is-done-300x144.webp 300w, https:\/\/de.meviy.misumi-ec.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-black-oxide-coating-is-done-768x369.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-098a59c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"098a59c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1722bb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1722bb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advantages of Black Oxide Treatment<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e43292 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0e43292\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fc2aca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fc2aca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">Black oxide treatment has the following features and finds applications in various fields:<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0898bbc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0898bbc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b4658a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b4658a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Improved Rust Resistance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15a470b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"15a470b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-340470f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"340470f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">The film on the surface of components is robust and stable and suppresses the formation of red rust (corrosion that significantly damages iron surfaces) to some extent. While it may not provide the same level of rust resistance as zinc or nickel plating, black oxide treatment is recommended when you want to impart a certain level of rust resistance while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, post-processing with rust-preventing oil retains oil on the film&#8217;s surface, improving the lubricity of tools and mechanical components.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68a6258 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"68a6258\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b148898 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b148898\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Reduced Susceptibility to Peeling<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4275b7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f4275b7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9990cfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9990cfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">Black oxide treatment is a process that chemically transforms only the surface of components into another substance.

Furthermore, the film forms from the surface of the component towards the interior. The treatment temperature is relatively low, not exceeding 150\u00b0C, eliminating concerns about part deformation due to heat. Therefore, the dimensions of the components remain largely unchanged before and after black oxide treatment.

It&#8217;s important to recognize that black oxide treatment has its limits when it comes to rust prevention.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57f685b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"57f685b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c288ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2c288ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da9086a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"da9086a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28a3e90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28a3e90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">Black oxide treatment is a surface treatment method that forms a ferric oxide (Fe3O4) film on the surface of iron and steel components. It provides a beautiful appearance, resembling that of something &#8220;dyed black,&#8221; while preserving the dimensional accuracy of the parts. It offers advantages such as cost-effectiveness compared to other treatment methods and the ability to provide a certain level of rust resistance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 13pt;\">Black oxide treatment is ideal for applications where maintaining dimensional accuracy, achieving an aesthetically pleasing black appearance, and desiring a certain level of rust resistance are paramount. Specifically, it is employed in various applications, including steel products like screws and bolts, a wide range of tools, precision machinery components, molds, automotive parts, interior items, and art pieces. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that while it can provide rust resistance, it may not endure outdoor use in extremely humid environments or near the sea. Hence, it may not be suitable for components used in such conditions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black oxide coating is a treatment method used to make the surface of components made of steel appear black by forming a black film on the surface through a chemical reaction.
