Quick Specs
What Buyers Should Know Before Sourcing Black Oxide Hex Bolts
Black Oxide Is Mainly a Controlled Appearance Finish
Black oxide provides a dark surface and light corrosion resistance when used with oil, but it should not be selected as a heavy outdoor coating. It is commonly used for machinery, tooling, and protected equipment assemblies. Buyers comparing finishes can review XZ Fastener’s black oxide vs zinc plated fasteners guide.
Confirm Full Thread, Partial Thread, and Grade
Black oxide finish does not define the bolt standard or strength. DIN 933 and ISO 4017 are commonly used for full thread bolts, while DIN 931 and ISO 4014 are used for partial thread bolts. This DIN 933 vs DIN 931 guide explains the practical difference.
Common Purchasing Descriptions
Black oxide hex bolt inquiries should include standard, size, grade, thread length, finish, oil protection, quantity, and packing method. Buyers often use the following descriptions in RFQs and purchase orders.
- black oxide DIN 933 bolts, full thread, carbon steel, Grade 8.8
- DIN 931 black oxide hex bolts, partial thread, Grade 10.9 or Grade 12.9
- Grade 8.8 carbon steel hex bolts with black oxide and oil protection
- metric hex head bolts for machinery, fixtures, and equipment frames
- DIN 933 full thread hex bolts packed with black oxide hex nuts and flat washers
- zinc plated DIN 933 bolts and hot dip galvanized DIN 933 bolts as alternative finish options for different corrosion environments
For a product reference, see XZ Fastener’s DIN 933 black oxide hex bolts page.
Detailed Specifications Table
| Item | Common Options | Purchasing Notes |

| Strength Class | 4.8, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, or drawing-specified class | Higher grades should be confirmed with hardness, tensile, and inspection requirements |
| Finish | Black oxide, black oxide with oil, black phosphate upon request | Oil protection, appearance, and storage method should be discussed before shipment |
| Matching Parts | Black oxide hex nuts, flat washers, spring washers, flange nuts | Matching parts should be confirmed with the same finish when visual consistency matters |
| Inspection | Dimension, thread, hardness, tensile where required, visual finish, oil coverage | Inspection reports are available upon request when specified before order confirmation |
| Packaging | Bulk cartons, small boxes, bags, pallets, private labels, mixed kits | Packaging can be arranged according to order requirement and warehouse handling needs |
Material and Grade Explanation
Black oxide hex bolts are commonly produced from carbon steel or alloy steel because these materials can be formed, heat treated, and finished with a dark oxide surface. Grade 8.8 is frequently used for general machinery assemblies, while Grade 10.9 and Grade 12.9 may be specified for higher strength applications where the assembly design supports the grade.
When ordering high-strength black oxide bolts, buyers should confirm bolt grade, nut grade, washer type, tightening method, and whether oil protection is required for storage. For grade selection, XZ Fastener provides a guide to hex bolt sizes, grades, and installation.
Surface Finish Selection Guide
Black Oxide with Oil
Common for machinery and tooling applications where a dark appearance and short-term storage protection are required.
Black Oxide Dry Finish
Can be discussed when oil residue is not acceptable, but corrosion protection will be lower without oil or additional protection.
Black Phosphate Alternative
Available upon request for selected fasteners where a black finish and different surface behavior are required.
Zinc Plated Alternative
Used when buyers need a brighter appearance and moderate indoor corrosion resistance instead of a dark finish.
Hot Dip Galvanized Alternative
Selected for outdoor environments where thicker zinc coating is needed, with thread fit and matching nuts confirmed in advance.
Special Coating
Zinc flake, PTFE, or other coatings can be discussed when corrosion resistance or friction behavior must be specified.
For broader finish comparison, buyers can review the fastener coating guide.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Production control for black oxide hex bolts may include raw material inspection, cutting, cold heading or hot forging, thread rolling, heat treatment where required, black oxide finishing, oiling, sorting, inspection, and packing. Key checks include head dimensions, length, thread fit, hardness, finish color, surface condition, oil coverage, and packaging label accuracy.
For inspection planning, XZ Fastener’s guide to fastener quality control during manufacturing and go/no-go thread gauge testing can help buyers define acceptance checks.

FAQ
What is black oxide finish used for on hex bolts?
Black oxide finish is used for dark appearance, mild surface protection with oil, and machinery or tooling assemblies where a black finish is preferred.
Are black oxide hex bolts suitable for outdoor use?
Black oxide bolts are usually better for indoor or protected environments. For outdoor exposure, hot dip galvanized, zinc flake, stainless steel, or another specified coating may be more suitable.
Can black oxide hex bolts be supplied in Grade 8.8?
Yes. Grade 8.8 carbon steel hex bolts can be supplied with black oxide finish when the standard, size, finish, and inspection requirements are confirmed before production.
Can black oxide bolts be supplied with oil protection?
Yes. Oil protection is commonly used with black oxide bolts to improve short-term corrosion resistance during storage and transport.
Can black oxide bolts be packed with nuts and washers?
Yes. Black oxide hex bolts can be supplied with matching hex nuts, flat washers, spring washers, and custom kit packaging according to order requirement.
What information should be included in a black oxide bolt RFQ?
Please include standard, size list, grade, thread type, finish requirement, oil protection, quantity, packaging method, and inspection requirements. Drawings or samples are helpful for non-standard items.
