AHT's New & Improved Black Oxide Treatment
Advanced Heat Treat Corp. (AHT) has been offering a black oxidation process since the early 2000s; however, after requests for an even darker black finish option, we have rolled out an additional line in our Michigan location.
Our new state-of-the-art equipment allows for more flexibility when it comes to the appearance and metallurgical results of our black oxide and UltraOx processes.
