Black Oxide
Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for ferrous materials, stainless steel, copper and copper-based alloys. To achieve maximal corrosion resistance, the black oxide must be impregnated with oil or wax. One of its advantages, over other coating processes, is its minimal build-up.
