Black Oxide

PLEASE NOTE: Black Oxide has the best outcome on carbon steel. For stainless putters, we recommend the DLC coating for a more durable and even coating. On a classic Scotty Cameron Tei3, the original was a polished Black Oxide.
Black Oxide is NOT compatible with aluminum! If you have a multi-piece putter with aluminum parts, you need to select DLC.
Black Oxide is the technical term for the gun bluing process. The putter head is placed in the heated black oxide solution and as the pores of the metal open, the black oxide literally dyes the metal. If the head is buffed shiny the putter will have a deep shiny appearance. Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for carbon steel. It is used to add mild corrosion resistance, for appearance, and to minimize light reflection. Black oxide is a conversion coating formed by a chemical reaction produced when parts are immersed in the alkaline aqueous salt solution operated at approximately 285 degrees F. The reaction between the iron of the ferrous alloy and the hot oxide bath produces a magnetite (Fe3 O4) on the actual surface of the part.
