black oxide set screws manufacturer
XZ Fastener manufactures black oxide set screws for shaft collars, gears, pulleys, knobs, couplings, fixture blocks, handles, and machinery assemblies where a compact headless fastener must lock against a shaft or mating surface. Cup point, flat point, cone point, dog point, knurled cup point, and custom set screws can be supplied according to DIN, ISO, ANSI, drawing, sample, material grade, finish, quantity, packaging, and inspection requirement. Black oxide with oil can provide a clean dark appearance, mild corrosion protection, and controlled dimensions for accurate internal hex drive and thread fit.

What Buyers Should Know Before Sourcing Black Oxide Set Screws
Set screws are small but function-critical parts. The point style, hex socket quality, thread tolerance, hardness, and finish all affect how the screw locks against the mating surface. A cup point provides strong holding force for many shaft applications, while flat point, cone point, and dog point styles are chosen for different contact and positioning needs.
Before ordering, buyers should confirm the standard, diameter, length, thread pitch, point type, material, strength grade, black oxide oil requirement, drive size, and packaging method. Related fastener products can be reviewed when the same assembly also needs bolts, washers, nuts, or custom hardware.

Material and Grade Explanation
Alloy steel set screws are commonly used when high hardness and strong point contact are required. Carbon steel can be used for general industrial assemblies, while stainless steel may be selected where corrosion resistance is more important than very high point hardness. Brass and nylon tip designs are used for applications where the mating surface should be protected.
For non-standard geometry, buyers should provide point angle, socket depth, thread tolerance, hardness, finish, and burr control notes. Drawing-based set screws can be reviewed as part of custom fasteners made to drawing, especially when shaft contact, locking function, or assembly tool access is critical.
Surface Finish Selection Guide
Black oxide is a dark conversion finish commonly used on alloy steel set screws. It provides a clean black appearance and mild corrosion protection when used with oil. Because the coating build-up is low, it is suitable for set screws where thread fit and socket dimensions must remain stable.
When the assembly requires higher corrosion resistance, buyers may compare black oxide with zinc plating, nickel plating, phosphate, stainless steel, or other finishes. The black oxide vs zinc plated fasteners guide and the surface finish comparison chart can help buyers choose a suitable finish for storage, handling, and service environment.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Production may include wire or bar selection, cold forming or machining, thread rolling or thread cutting, socket forming, point forming, heat treatment, black oxide finishing, oiling, sorting, inspection, and packing. The process route depends on size, point style, material, hardness, and tolerance requirement.
Common inspection points include thread gauge, diameter, length, socket size, socket depth, point angle, point concentricity, hardness, black oxide appearance, oil coverage, burr control, and packing quantity. Thread inspection can follow methods described in thread inspection methods for fastener quality control.

Please provide the standard, size, thread pitch, length, point type, drive type, material, hardness class, finish requirement, quantity, packaging, inspection requirement, and delivery destination.
Which point style should I choose for set screws?
Cup point is widely used for strong holding force, flat point is useful where surface marking should be reduced, cone point provides a stronger bite, and dog point is used for locating holes or repeat positioning.
Is black oxide suitable for outdoor use?
Black oxide with oil provides mild corrosion protection and a dark appearance. For outdoor or wet environments, buyers should consider zinc plating, stainless steel, or other finishes according to the service condition.
