    Yesterday I went to my garage to pull out all the nuts, bolts, screws, washers, hinges, etc. from my 79 Caballero (El Camino) in order to put it back together, only to realize that they are all rusted after last year I worked so hard to remove paint & rust off them. Sure, I also etched them with metal & concrete etcher from Home Depot ( I guess same as Muriatic Acid), then I primered them with an etch primer, then epoxy spray painted them...to no avail. So I've been researching today into zinc or nickel plating them but I would actually have to wrap each item with copper wire. I won't get into what else is required...but just having to wire each item is just a daunting task.
    So I'm glad I stumbled on to your video on how to black oxide the parts. Long process as well but at least I won't have to tie each part with wire then attach DC voltage to 2 separate metal piece dipped in the cup with, attaching a negative & positive leads. Needles to say, black oxide nuts & bolts is more original to these classic G-body classics so I'd rather follow your example. The black oxide concentrate by Caswell on Amazon is $31. I'm sure I'll be happy with these results & following your instructions. Thank you.

    I have done this process a number of times and I have found that coating the item with wax works well. I melt some wax in an old pot and soak the item for a few minutes in it and then take it out and place it on a wire rack. I then hit the item with a heat gun to melt off any excess wax.

  • @davidbrogan606
    @davidbrogan606 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Good job. Ya know, when measuring, it is good procedure to measure the small amount in a more accurate narrower beaker. The reason is that with the larger beaker it is so easy to get the water a bit off and that throws off the amount of oxide resulting in an improper ratio. Example: If you mistakenly had placed 9 1/4 oz water, then you'd only have 3/4 oz oxide and a 12:1 ratio.
    I spray trees for a living, so this is something I do all the time. I mean, you can do it the way you showed, but you should bring the beaker to eye level and do it carefully, reading it at the meniscus, like we were taught in chemistry class.

    Thanks for the video. I too have received a Caswell steel blackening kit but was getting highly variable results with my machined items. What I did not appreciate was the need for more aggressive surface preparation as you demonstrated with wire wheeling or abrasive blasting. That was the missing link. Fingers crossed I can get the sort of deep even black that was shown on your bolts.

Subsequently, after an hour, the rust washed right off. You just can't beat that old-school American or German steel

      Tim,
      I've had good results heating bolts to 400° F (easily achieved in the kitchen oven) and dropping them in boiled linseed oil. Once cooled, wipe off the excess and stick them back in the oven for a couple of hours. Buff them up on a cloth wheel and they come up dandy.
      Caveat! Get your wife's permission to use the oven...!

      Well since you seem to have hijacked the kitchen, you can make the rules...
      Just to avoid confusion, the linseed oil treatment is as a sealer after going through the black oxide process and not as a substitute.
      I've heard that heating the object to red hot and dumping them in old motor oil produces a nice black finish but I wouldn't try it on something that needs to support a serious load (such as a wheel stud) until I learn more about the effects of this on structural strength.

    @jasonf1451 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks great. Here in Oz I have 144 outer perimeter nuts on my vehicle wheels to do. They are zinc plated but some of the zinc has worn off and some slight surface rust. I am hoping the chemical will bring them up consistently black and protect them. The main nuts (those holding the wheels on) are new Haltec 22mm and already black oxide. I will need to seal all of them. Looking for something better than WD40 as it will only last a week.

  • @beastgirl43
    @beastgirl43 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great vid. So Zinc plating is not required first. Yellow dicromate only takes to a zinc coat so this is interesting. Nickel coat also requires a copper strike coat so this black without zinc or copper electrolysis is very cool if it truly holds up well

    • @CudaCody
      @CudaCody  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, to get a Yellow Dichromate finish you need a Zinc coat first, but this Black Oxide does not. It will hold up about as well as an original phosphate. You can try using a satin clear instead of the WD-40 or other oil sealer. Heard that holds up good and still has a nice original look.

    • @CudaCody
      @CudaCody  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You bring up a good question about other application techniques. I've tried a couple different ways to apply it and they've worked good. For example, when I want a factory stamped steel look (say on kick down linkage), I wire wheel the linkage and wipe the Black Oxide on with a grey scotch bright pad (as even as possible). Since I don't want a very black look it only takes a few seconds for it to give me the look I want. In your case (spraying the solution on to a metal table frame) I think it would work good and you'll just need to watch the amount of time you leave it on to get the look you want. The key is to get it applied evenly. Try using a scotch bright pad to evenly spread it around after you mist it on with spray bottle. Try wiping the solution constantly so you don't get an uneven look. The Key is not to get drips because they will etch the metal and you'll see them. Practice with a couple test pieces before doing your table to see how it turns out, but I'm guessing you're going to love the way it looks. You can clear coat the table frame too instead of oil and it will seal up the black oxide too. Good luck! :)

    is this the same as phosphoric acid treatment?

    • @visionowner
      @visionowner 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. In the end, the black oxide is a slightly inferfior finish that acts as a "tooth" for sealants to bond. Phosphoric acid finish is akin to a sacrificial anode coating. i.e. it is the less noble of the two and therefore corrosion will take to it before the base metal it is coating. The big upside to this or other cold-bluing methods is that you don't have to deal with the Haz-Mat byproduct nearly so much. In some locales, disposing of phosphoric acid is a real headache whereas cold bluing or black oxidizing is relatively quick, inexpensive and less toxic to handle. Phosphoric acid can also attack a bit of thin material that you might be trying to preserve. I wouldn't want to use it on thread restoration, but then again, re-using old, torqued fasteners is not a very sound practice from an engineering standpoint.

    I think that a black oxide coating and a phosphate coating are two different things. I don't think you are making a "black oxide phosphate" coating. Even the Caswell bottle in the video just shows "black oxide" on the label. You don't necessarily need air to de-dust your items. A distilled water rinse might work even better. Shake the excess water off. The distilled water won't matter because you are putting the bolts in a water-based solution from Caswell.

    Black Oxide and Phosphate are not the same. Black oxide is a conversion coating that forms a protective surface by reacting chemically with the iron in the metal. Black phosphate is created by dipping parts in phosphoric acid and phosphate salts, which creates a crystalline structure on the surface.

Try using a spray bottle on large cast iron parts and maybe even a shorter period of time. The key will be to get it applied evenly and wash it off before it sits on there to long. Good luck.

      Thanks mate. What would you recommend for Stainless Steel (to have similar effect)?

    Does this coating hold up as well as the "cooked" on coatings? Thanks for the helpful video.

      Powder coating will add thickness to the nut/bolt causing the size to not be exact. This stuff holds up great.

    Great vid? Couldn't we also blue them with boiling oil? I do it when restoring older rifles...

    I'll stick with blueing the metal with a torch and oil quench. nice video though.

    Nice video but, 9 oz. of water and 1 oz. of chemical is a 9:1 ratio. You would need 10 oz. of water and 1 oz. of chemical to produce a 10:1 ratio.

    • @Slugeinstein
      @Slugeinstein 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      if you pause the video in the sec 0:37 the label in the bottle says 9:1 ratio, as well he mentioned the same 9:1 ratio

    • @Platingisfun
      @Platingisfun 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Insta Blak 333 is used at 10% by volume. For some people is easier to say 9 parts of water and 1 part of blackening solution or 9:1 ratio.

    You can do this same thing with hot vinegar

  • @allmycarsisbroke
    @allmycarsisbroke 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Shouldn't you be using distilled water, not tap water, to rinse your parts after pulling them out of the blackener concentrate? If you haven't yet protected them with oil/sealer, I would think you are introducing minerals to catalyze corrosion.

    i believe rust will come fast as soon as no oil film is protecting it

    • @ODACerberus
      @ODACerberus 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No. The oxide finish IS rust, black iron oxide. It prevents damaging pitting by red and brown iron oxide forming naturally in the pits of the surface.

      Jose Ferreira you are right
      WD 40 penetrates good but does not protect it evaporates used motor oil is better
