Does black oxidizing change the thickness of a part?  

September 24, 2008

We recently just made some parts and send them out to be black oxidized. Will this coating change the thickness of the part? thanks

No, Ben, it won't. The thickness is measured in millionths of an inch rather than ten thousandths or thousandths.
