Plating

Zinc (CZ)

Also known as clear zinc or blue zinc this is the most popular plating for commercial fasteners.

Nickel (NI)

A cosmetically attractive plating, closely resembling chrome.

Black Oxide (BW)

This is a matte black finish, usually applied with an oil or wax coating to increase oxidation resistance. Through the years the metal working industry has used Black Oxide Coating extensively. We use caustic Black oxide operating at 285f-300f that produces a Black Iron Magnetite coating. The coating thickness is almost negligible about 0.0001 inches. Black Oxide has an ability to absorb a subsequent coating of oil or any other supplementary preservative treatment. Of the many options available to any component designer; Black Oxide has served its purpose extremely well over the years and will continue to be important to the metal working industry.
