What is [black metal] titanium, stainless steel, and black plated steel sheet?

About BlackMetal

Black metals come in a variety of materials. Black metal is produced by applying various processes to base metals such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium.

The most popular black metal material is black iron sheet with black skin. This material is widely sold and distributed because the oxide film of iron has turned black.

The next most commonly used black metal is by painting. Black metal is obtained by painting or plating the metal.

It is also possible to blacken metals by plating. Chromate treatment is one method of black plating.

Aluminum can be blackened by black anodizing with color anodizing.

In the following section, we will list the latest plated steel sheets with black color in stainless steel and titanium.

This [black metal] can be used in large areas for the interior and exterior of building materials (with some exceptions) and as fixtures and equipment items.
Each of them has its own characteristics, such as long-term durability and ease of use, and can be used not only for functionality but also for new design expression.
Each of them will be introduced here.

[Black Metal] The latest electroplated black steel sheet FeLuche

The latest electro-plating steel sheet FeLuche.
Unlike conventional plating steel sheets, this is the latest design electroplating steel sheet with a fine European texture on the surface.

As you can see, the fine European texture shimmers at different angles of light and shows a unique black surface.
The FeLUche in the photo is coated with MaCoatGC, a fingerprint-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, on its surface.
The black coloration is enhanced and a glossy appearance is achieved.

Blackening does not involve coating or painting the metal surface with some other substance, but rather a combination of polishing and blackening technologies to make it appear black.
In other words, the surface becomes titanium itself, a true black metal (titanium) that is not a pretense.

Unlike paint, the blackened surface is the metal itself, so fingerprints and the like will adhere to it. Therefore, the crystal black titanium in the photo is coated with MaCoat GC, a fingerprint-resistant coating.

BlackTitanium

The base material is blackened with general-purpose Tranixi Titanium (manufactured by Nippon Steel Corporation), which is used for roofing materials and has high tarnish resistance properties.

This is the same blackening technique as crystal pattern titanium, but it is a black titanium that can be polished to change its appearance.
Titanium, which is absolutely resistant to seawater, retains its functionality even when blackened, and is a black metal that can achieve both long-term durability and weight reduction.

Unlike paint or plating, the blackened surface of the metal allows for the expression of natural metallic skin irregularities, providing natural design expression and long-term durability.
The photo shows the fingerprint-resistant coating as well as the crystalline patterned titanium.

[Black metal] Black stainless steel mirror

This black mirror-finish stainless steel is commonly seen these days around the interior and exterior elevators of buildings. This black stainless steel can be produced by depositing metallic ceramics by vacuum evaporation PVD, but many are made by controlling the thickness of the passive film that stainless steel inherently has by using electrolytic coloration technology.
The advantages are higher corrosion resistance and, like mirror stainless steel, easier machining.

The mirror surface has a very high quality feel, but matte surfaces can also be used.
However, there are a few aspects that require prior coordination, such as stainless steel production lot management.

Comparison of black paint and black titanium

Titanium is characterized by its absolute resistance to seawater and long-term durability.
Therefore, it is a metal that is often used in temples and shrines that transcend the passage of time.
Therefore, we would like to present a comparison of black metal, both blackened paint and black titanium.

The shining gold color is the same for both titanium IP Gold Titanium (patented).
The black metal that is blackened is

Right: black titanium
are the same black color.

Although they are the same black color, the painted titanium is uniformly black, while the black titanium is a natural black finish with uneven metal skin.

Black titanium is a black metal that naturally blends in with buildings and spaces that harmonize with nature.

Black metal Summary of titanium, stainless steel, and black plated steel sheet

In this issue, we summarize black metals.
Various metal materials become black metal through various techniques.
Each item adds unique value and impression through its design and function.
We hope you will consider black metal in terms of design that suits your space, harmony with nature, and environmental friendliness through long-term durability.
