Black Oxide Aluminum Sheet

One of the things that makes black oxiding so dangerous is that the black oxide bath operates at about 290 degrees f.

Black oxide aluminum sheet.

It s the oil that prevents rust from forming on the metal. Room temperature black oxide processes specifically designed for use on aluminum. While you can certainly weld black stainless steel you will not be able to grind and or polish the weld. Mid temperature blackening processes offer dimensional stability smut free finishes and high quality results.

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. Black oxide is a finish applied to ferrous metals that provides rust protection. Note that this is well above the boiling. The black oxide finish makes the metal surface porous enabling it to hold a thin layer of oil.

Lumiclad black oxide for aluminum is a durable and attractive black finish that can be coated onto aluminum alloys. The hem was an open teardrop hem and there were no defects in the surface of the metal and the coloring was consistent. Our black anodized aluminum sheets are available in gauges of 032 040 063. 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.

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. Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for ferrous materials stainless steel copper and copper based alloys zinc powdered metals and silver solder. If you want to make a black oxide finish yourself the cold process black oxide system is a safe alternative. It is supplied by the originator of the unique and widely used tru temp low temperature black oxide process for ferrous metals.

Black anodized aluminum gauge and sheet sizing options. Products can be applied using immersion or swab on applications and touch ups. Steel sheet metal screw black oxide finish 82 degrees flat head phillips drive type ab 6 20 thread size 3 8 length pack of 100 4 3 out of 5 stars 10 misc. The goal is a weld.

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. We have formed angles from 0 180 degrees and have even hemmed black stainless steel. To achieve maximal corrosion resistance the black oxide must be impregnated with oil or wax.
