Coloring 400 Series Stainless black
Coloring 400 Series Stainless black
(OP)
Hello Group,
I am looking to color some 400 series stainless steel parts black. I would prefer not to paint because the end use of the product will be harsh and the paint will scratch off. I want the coloring to be consistant (is a consumer product) and durable.
Does anyone have ideas?
Thank you
CJ

SS needs to be magnetic (thats why 400 series) and moderately corrosion resistant. The use is a tool body.
Op temp: -30C - 60C; outdoor use
I would like the post process finish to be matte and not oily (it will be handled by customers on a daily basis). Its very important that the oxide (or whatever) looks good, meaning consistant color from lot to lot.
Is that a little better?
thanks

Some black oxiders don't perform black oxide on stainless or have dry touch finish available. Here's one that does:
