Carbon and alloy steels require surface treatment for corrosion protection. Options range from simple black oxide to hard chrome plating for wear resistance.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Achievable Tolerances | ±0.01 mm (finished) |
| Surface Finish | Ra 0.2-3.2 μm depending on treatment |
| Cutting Speed | N/A |
| Feed Rate | N/A |
| Tooling Recommendations | N/A — surface finishing process |
Black oxide is minimum corrosion protection
Zinc plating for moderate protection
Hard chrome for bearing and wear surfaces
Nitride for surface hardness without dimensional change
Black oxide shafts
Zinc-plated fasteners
Hard-chromed cylinders
Nitrided gears
