Black Oxide Aluminum Sheet

While most metal finishing processes use toxic chemicals the black oxide process is especially hazardous and amateurs are most definitely discouraged from attempting hot blackening.

Black oxide aluminum sheet.

Products can be applied using immersion or swab on applications and touch ups. Room temperature black oxide processes specifically designed for use on aluminum. To achieve maximal corrosion resistance the black oxide must be impregnated with oil or wax. Black oxide is a finish applied to ferrous metals that provides rust protection.

It is used to add mild corrosion resistance for appearance and to minimize light reflection. It is supplied by the originator of the unique and widely used tru temp low temperature black oxide process for ferrous metals. Our black anodized aluminum sheets are available in gauges of 032 040 063. The anodized aluminum sheets are recommended for outdoor use because of their fade resistance and can be used in a wide variety of unique design application.

The goal is a weld. Black anodized aluminum gauge and sheet sizing options. The hem was an open teardrop hem and there were no defects in the surface of the metal and the coloring was consistent. We have formed angles from 0 180 degrees and have even hemmed black stainless steel.

Epi s mid temperature black oxide process kool blak 225 blackens steel in 30 45 minutes and converts it to black iron oxide magnetite which provides a glossy black finish as well as protection for the part. It s the oil that prevents rust from forming on the metal. Utilizing a simple immersion tank process line the lumiclad solutions carry out a two stage chemical reaction to form an attractive satin gloss black finish that is tightly adherent to the aluminum surface. If you want to make a black oxide finish yourself the cold process black oxide system is a safe alternative.

One of its advantages over other coatings is. Note that this is well above the boiling. While you can certainly weld black stainless steel you will not be able to grind and or polish the weld.

Lumiclad black oxide for aluminum is a durable and attractive black finish that can be coated onto aluminum alloys. Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for ferrous materials stainless steel copper and copper based alloys zinc powdered metals and silver solder. The lumiclad black oxide process patent applied for is the first and only high quality method for blackening aluminum that doesn t involve the complexities and high costs of electrolytic black anodizing.
