#BLACK STEEL METAL WINDOWS#
The carbon found in old engine oil, penetrates the surface of the steel, resulting in an interesting and functional finish. Our black metal windows are made from 100 recyclable, durable steel to boost the eco-credentials of your project. The resulting finish, will be dark satin in colour and will be corrosion resistant. Black stainless steel sheet metal can be made of 304 and 316 grade, the surface have been specially treated to make it more durable and harder than the actual stainless steel surface. Remove the component, after it has cooled sufficiently, using tongs and place it on a metal plate or an anvil and allow to cool fully. The old engine oil will bubble, due to the heat given off by the component.ĥ. There must be extraction, as found above a brazing hearth or ceramic chip forge, due to the large volumes of fumes. Using tongs and wearing protective clothing, drop the ‘red’ hot component into a steel container of old engine oil. Heat the component to ‘red’ heat, on a brazing hearth.Ĥ. The wash the component in clean water and allow to dry.ģ. Wipe the component clean and even soak it in a de-greasing solution. Ensure that all surfaces are clean of dirt and grease. OR prepare the surface with a machined finish, through the use of a lathe, miller, surface grinder etc.Ģ. Steel and Nickel Blackener Wash the JAX off the metal when the metal is slightly. Prepare the surface of the component, through the use of hand tools, such as files and the use of wet and dry paper / emery cloth. The multi tool is placed into a chemical solution that contains oxidizing salts and these salts react with surface of the metal to form black iron oxide (also. Produces an antique metallic black finish on iron, steel and nickel. Blackened Steel sounds like one of the easiest finishes to achieve in decorative metals, yet this is the most widely misunderstood and complex of metal finishes. This can be achieved on a small scale in schools, although safety precautions must be taken.ġ. One of the most cost effective ways of preventing tarnishing / corrosion to the surface of steel, is to ‘Oil Black’. When manufacturing components from steel, corrosion to the surface will always be a problem, especially if the product / component is in contact with moisture, as carried in the atmosphere.
