Product Introduction
Standard Name: Black Oxide Hex Bolt (Blackened Hex Head Bolt).
Common Names: Blackened Bolt, Black Hex Head Screw.
Product Definition: A bolt featuring a hexagonal head with a black oxide finish (oxidized surface treatment). This treatment provides basic rust prevention, a deep matte black appearance, and reduces light reflection. It remains a classic choice for applications prioritizing visual consistency, glare reduction, and short-term rust protection.
Hex Bolt Black Key Features
Black Oxide Finish: Provides basic rust and wear protection with a matte black finish, reducing light
reflection and improving lubricity, suitable for moderately corrosive environments.
Hexagonal Head Design: Facilitates torque application using wrenches or socket tools, ensuring efficient
installation and removal.
Material and Strength: Commonly used alloy steel or carbon steel, strength grades such as 8.8 or 10.9,
capable of withstanding moderate loads; conforms to standards such as DIN 931 and ISO 4014.
Various Specifications: Diameters M6-M36, lengths 20mm-300mm, supports full or partial threads.
Advantages: Economical and practical, aesthetically pleasing and understated, but the coating is
relatively thin, making it unsuitable for high-humidity environments.

Working Principle
Thread Matching: The external thread mates with the nut or internal thread of the hole, generating axial
force through rotation, forming a clamping force.
2. Load Transfer: When torque is applied, the bolt tensile stress is distributed; the black oxide layer
reduces friction and improves efficiency.
3. Protection Mechanism: Black oxide forms a phosphate layer, providing mild corrosion protection
and lubrication; the principle involves mechanical friction and surface chemical reaction.
4. Installation Control: Use a torque wrench to avoid overtightening and damaging the coating;
combined with washers, stability is enhanced.

Product Applications
Machinery Manufacturing: Secure equipment components, machine tools, or conveyor systems; the
black coating reduces glare and improves safety.
Automotive Industry: Connect chassis or engine mounts; vibration resistant and provides a discreet
appearance.
Construction Engineering: Used for securing interior steel structures or furniture; economical for
non-extreme environments.
Electronics & DIY: Assemble appliance housings or home projects; aesthetically pleasing and concealed.
Industrial Equipment: Used as a standard fastener in production lines or warehouses, balancing cost
and performance.
