Functional Excellence as a Material
The black oxide film adds functional performance to stainless steel
Abel Black® forms a black oxide film less than 1 μm thick, allowing the stainless steel’s natural texture to remain visible while achieving a dense, refined appearance with remarkable depth
This ultra-thin, integral film offers exceptional formability—withstanding bending, stamping, and deep drawing without peeling or whitening—making it highly suitable for complex manufacturing processes.
Because the coloration is integrated during material production rather than applied after forming, it eliminates the need for post-treatment steps such as painting or plating. This streamlines the workflow, reduces overall production costs, and ensures uniform quality across components.
The thin, coherent film also maintains the high dimensional precision achieved through advanced press forming and minimizes deformation risks during handling and transportation.
