Black finish for cast iron

We are looking to put a black finish on cast iron plate without adding any thickness to size of plate.

Look for black oxide finishers on this site in the Vendors/Advertisers sections(www.finishing.com/shops/). Or post in the looking for a jobshop area (www.finishing.com/letters/rfqshopNA.shtml). Or use the search engine on the home page. Or post an RFQ. Black oxide is what we do but cast iron comes out with a red tint in our system. There are companies with the right chemicals to achieve what you desire.

Good luck.

Is 20 microns a thickness which you do not want? Well, if you can live with that then E-coat is a great way to finish castings and get black color.
