Black oxide run
on: March 01, 2016, 04:01:27 AM
Who would be interested in a black oxide run of various parts and items? I'm looking to see if this would be beneficial to me and the forum. I don't have a price yet but I'm going to ask the people I found for a sample run and see how the coating is. So who wants in? Thanks
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

I still need a micra or two done, so depending on price I may be interested.

Depending on the price I might be interested. They never did a LM Pulse in BO and I think that would be cool !

I don´t know how much hassle international shipping would add, but I might be interested.

This may be a silly question but to do a tool like the Micra or the Pulse would it have to be in parts or can they do a whole tool without disassembly ?

I would assume dissasembly is necessary.

I'm able to disassemble anything I send, but others may need help. Just let us know when you get the quote.  :tu:

First off, I would absolutely be interested in a BO run. Second, you can get a BO kit for around 70  dollars,so that might also be an option.

Most BO Kits (at least in europe...) only offer cold black oxidation and will only work on noin-stainless steel as real BO uses pretty nasty chemicals.

Black oxide is a controlled form of rust on stainless. It uses specific chemicals at very specific temperatures to achieve this. This in turn creates a protective barrier for future rust and gives it a nice black coating.

Got that part. Not sure what Grant is asking? Is it a service where you send in your tools to be oxidized? Or setting up a run of certain tools to offer?

Oh! Yeah I'm trying to see how much it would cost to do a run. Not doing my own tools ATM.

Gotcha. I've been reading too many post at once.  :megaslap: if it's a possibility Doing a SS MP600 with BO tools :drool: scissors instead of file as well.

As long as you have the tools to be coated its a very easy job to do.

You could also do that easily with a donor BO MP600.

I have a FrankenGerber.

BO body. SS head. Then mixed BO and SS tools.

So it'd be doable to have the tools in an alox electrician coated to blacked out?

Would there be much of a change in dimensions to effect reassembly?

I ask this as once I decided to have a Mini Samaritan cerokoted and ended up having to beg the maker to put it back together for me. He very nicely obliged me and it turned out to be a nice piece. I'm sure cerokote is likely fairly thicker as opposed to black oxide is though.

Would like a black bladed electrician though.

Black oxide is only a few molecules thick, so no real change in dimensions you and me could measure.
And yes, if you disassemble the electrician, you can have the tools and springs black oxidized.

Any updates?  I'd love to BO my Skeletool, but not sure it can be taken apart.

I am not interested in participating, just voice an opinion: why BO but not more durable tool coating like TiAlN? Only a few micron thick while retaining surface finish.

I'm not familiar with that. Is it similar to what Fisher uses on some of their pens?
