Design engineers requiring break-in lubricity and galling resistance for mating aluminum surfaces have a new option with the LUMICLAD® finish. The LUMICLAD process forms a non-dimensional black oxide finish on all aluminum surfaces that is clean, durable and tightly adherent to metal substrate. The finish has an inherent lubricity that aids in break-in and resists…

Part finishing time is easily reduced from days to just minutes while finish quality is improved using Birchwood Casey’s new BC40 TRU TEMP® finishing system. Utilizing a patented, two-stage oxidation, the TRU TEMP® process forms a black magnetite finish on all iron and non-stainless steel parts. Operating at 200°F, the process is safe to bring…
