Black Oxide Finish

Acts as a solid lubricant and also retains liquid lubricant at cutting edges prevents chip welding, reduces friction and acts a thermal insulator.

Nitride/Steam Oxide Finish

Combines the advantages of the lubricity of oxide with the abrasion resistance of nitride.

Black & Gold Oxide Finish

Resists corrosion and breakage while increasing lubricity. This finish is not prone to chipping and flaking.

Gold Oxide Finish

Extends tool life, and improves lubricity, and reduces grinding stresses.
