ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

The primary solutions utilized in the blacking process are of a water base, thus limiting safety and environmental hazards. Rinse water effluents are well within compliance of by-law guidelines of most municipalities.

EASY-TO-USE

Blackfast offers an extremely simple, easy-to use process for blacking iron & steel components in house at room temperature. The operator requires minimal training, and there is no prior chemical knowledge required.

ECONOMICAL

The processing of parts costs pennies a piece! Products are long lasting and can sit for long periods of time and be ready to go when you have work to process. Topped up, not disposed of, reducing overall costs.

The Blackfast Process

The traditional procedure for Black Oxide was to send your parts out to a metal finishing house. This resulted in complications, wait time and expense.
e-Black Solutions presents an alternative solution that actually works!

WHY DO YOUR OWN IN-HOUSE BLACKING?

Reduce down time.

Avoid sending out for hot black oxide.

Can be carried out by junior staff requiring no chemical knowledge.

Avoid incurring shipping and handling costs.

Wasted time tracing outsource items.

Loss of control of your own productivity.

In-House Quality Control.

Consistent deep black finish.

No more creeping white salt corrosion.

THE WILLs AND WILL NOTs OF BLACKING

Blackfast will blacken:

Any ferrous metal; carbon steel, mild steel, tool steel, high speed steel. Steel hardened to 60 Rockwell. Steel with less than 12% nickel or chrome content; surface hardened items.

Cast iron, ductile iron, forged steel.

Blackfast will not blacken:

Stainless steel, rust resistant metals, brass.

Metals great than 12% nickel or chrome, metals harder than 60 Rockwell.

Metals with any trace of oil or rust inhibitors or red rusted metals.

NO DIMENSIONAL CHANGE

The converted black surface is between 1.5 and 3 microns in thickness.

The degree of thickness is proportionate to the degree of microscopic variance in the machined surface prior to blacking. The surface conversion actually corrects some microscopic imperfections in the component.

There is no change to the hardness of the material.

The chemical description of the process is “an Inert Copper Selenoid Phosphate”.

Think of a nut and bolt. You can’t thread something dimensionally changed.

CORROSION PROTECTION

The Blackfast process provides corrosion protection that surpasses that of the traditional hot black oxide method, due to the microcrystalline converted surface.

Long lasting humidity barrier which hampers oxidation.

Testing resulted in no corrosion after 244 hours of humidity cabinet exposure & significant corrosion only after 48 hours of salt spray, using our standard 833C dewatering oil. 

Traditional Hot black oxide test results typically range from 48 to 120 hours humidity cabinet only.
