Product Description

Heating furnace – blackening tank – drying oven – oiling tank: a continuous, residual‑heat blackening production line—ready for daily shipments!

I. Mesh-Belt Low-Temperature Tempering Furnace (Front-End Host)

Functionality

After quenching, cleaning, and drying, the screws are first placed in a tempering furnace to relieve quenching stresses and stabilize hardness, while also completing basic case hardening. This step prevents brittle fracture and is an essential process prior to blackening.
  1. Heating method: Electric heating optional; forced-air circulation design ensures uniform furnace temperature, adjustable between 300–450°C.
  2. Structure: Continuous conveyance via a stainless steel heat‑resistant mesh belt, enclosed furnace chamber, and a mild protective atmosphere to prevent back‑fire oxidation and yellowing.
  3. Process function:
  • Reduce the brittleness of quenched martensite, enhance screw toughness, and meet torque and fracture‑resistance requirements.
  • Stabilize the hardness range of the finished product;
  • High-temperature treatment removes trace residual oil from the workpiece, ensuring that the subsequent blackening coating is uniform and free of mottling.
  1. Discharge: After tempering, allow the parts to cool naturally in air until the temperature drops below 80°C, then transfer them to the blackening bath.

II. Continuous Blackening Tank (Oxidation and Bluing Treatment Unit)

Process Principle

Alkaline high-temperature blackening forms a dense layer on the screw surface. Black oxide film of Fe₃O₄ , provides basic rust protection and an attractive finish, while concealing minor color variations from heat treatment.

Equipment Composition

  1. Main blackening tank: carbon steel liner with anti-corrosion steel plate, heated by electric heating or thermal oil, with temperature control set at 135–145°C; the tank is equipped with a stirring and tumbling mechanism to ensure complete immersion of the workpieces in the treatment solution.
  2. Pre‑wash tank: Quenched workpieces are first rinsed with clean water to remove dust and contaminants, thereby preventing contamination of the blackening solution.
  3. Post‑overflow rinse tank: After blackening, perform multi‑stage rinsing with clean water to remove residual strong alkaline solution from the surface, thereby preventing re‑whitening and white spotting.
  4. Chemical formulation: high-temperature alkaline blackening agent, cyanide-free and environmentally friendly formula, producing a uniformly black coating.

Key role

  • Appearance: The screw features a uniform black finish, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the hardware product.
  • Basic corrosion protection: isolates from air to provide mild rust prevention, laying the groundwork for subsequent oiling.
  • It masks the slight oxidation discoloration from heat treatment and ensures consistent color across batches.

III. Hot-air Drying Oven (dewatering and drying after blackening and water washing)

Functionality

The surface of the screws after rinsing will have water marks; they must be thoroughly dried, or else water stains and rust spots may appear, compromising the subsequent anti‑rust oil film.
  1. Heating method: electric hot-air circulation / fuel-fired hot air; temperature adjustable from 100 to 160°C.
  2. Structure: High-speed hot-air blowing on both the upper and lower sides, with continuous conveyor belt transport in a tunnel configuration.
  3. Design Highlights:
  • Strong winds in the preceding section remove surface‑free water droplets;
  • Mid-section constant-temperature drying removes moisture from capillary gaps.
  • The rear-end air‑cooled cooling system reduces the oil temperature of the workpiece to below 40°C, preventing the high‑temperature degradation of the rust‑preventive oil.

Defects of Not Drying

Water stains left behind can develop red rust after a few hours; moisture dilutes the anti-rust oil, resulting in a thin oil film and a significantly shortened protection period.

IV. Automatic Rust-Prevention Oil‑Bath (Final Anti-Corrosion Process)

Two mainstream structures are available.

  1. Soaking-type oiling tank The workpiece is fully immersed in a rust-preventive oil bath, with bottom‑mounted vibration to drain excess oil, which then automatically returns to the circulation system.
  2. Spraying + Roller-Applying Oil : Suitable for small self-tapping screws, providing a thin, evenly distributed oil film under low pressure, saving oil and preventing oil buildup.
