Tru Temp Black Oxide Provides
Blackened Parts Break In Lubricity
For Gear Technology Applications
Eden Prairie, Minnesota: Gear component
manufacturers asked for an in-house
metal finishing process to provide break-in
lubricity, robust corrosion protection and
galling resistance on critical components.
Birchwood Technologies’ TRU TEMP®
low temp black oxide process meets
all those requirements while creating a
non-dimensional finish, maintaining the
same material hardness and load-bearing
properties.
The TRU TEMP blackening line operates at 200 degrees and forms a satin
black magnetite finish that protects critical surfaces in storage, shipment
and startup, resists galling and aids in break-in. The process takes just
30 minutes.
The TRU TEMP finish is Mil Spec and RoHS compliant, and withstands
up to 120 hours of neutral salt spray or several hundred hours of
humidity, verified by independent testing. The finish is a 0.5 microns
thick (20 millionths) crystalline structure that allows it to effectively hold
a rust inhibitor and serves as a sacrificial barrier to provide break-in
lubricity and galling resistance. Critical parts are protected for storage
or overseas shipment.
Gear component manufacturers are turning to the TRU TEMP® low
temperature black oxide process as the preferred finish because of its
many benefits. The process can be installed in any plant setting, without
endangering personnel or surrounding equipment. The operating
solutions contain no EPA regulated chemicals; process rinse waters are
normally sent to the sewer as non-hazardous discharge. Most process
lines do not require waste treatment equipment.
TRU TEMP process lines are available in any size to fit part size and
production volume. Please see the website for details on 100 gallon and
40 gallon systems.
