Black Oxide Surface Treatment

Black oxide (also known as blackening or chemical blacking) is a conversion coating applied to steel fasteners through a controlled chemical reaction. It produces a uniform matte black finish that provides:

  • Moderate corrosion resistance — suitable for indoor and dry environments; enhanced with oil or wax post-treatment
  • Reduced light reflection — ideal for optical, electronic, and precision instrument applications
  • Minimal dimensional impact — coating thickness typically 1–2 μm, preserving tight tolerances
  • Professional appearance — uniform matte black finish preferred in visible assemblies
  • No restricted substances — black oxide process does not use hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), lead, or other RoHS restricted substances

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is GB 70-85 the same as ISO 4762 / DIN 912?
GB 70-85 is the Chinese national standard issued in 1985 and is dimensionally compatible with ISO 4762 and DIN 912 for standard sizes M3–M48. In most applications, GB 70-85 and ISO 4762 screws are interchangeable.

Q: How durable is the black oxide finish?
Black oxide provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and dry environments. For enhanced protection, screws are typically treated with oil or wax after blackening. For outdoor or humid environments, we recommend Zinc CR3 plating instead.

Q: Will black oxide affect the thread dimensions?
No. Black oxide coating is only 1–2 μm thick and has virtually no impact on thread dimensions or fit. This makes it ideal for precision assemblies where tight tolerances must be maintained.

Q: Can I get material certificates and test reports?
Yes. PPAP reports, material certificates, hardness test reports, and tensile test reports are available upon request for all FULLERKREG products.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
We supply both small quantities and large bulk orders. Please contact our sales team for pricing and MOQ details.
