    Blk phosphate vs Blk oxide finish...differences??

    Hello,

    I have a question on what the differences in appearance of black phosphate and black oxide? Does the black phosphate finish have a rougher, textured look to it?

    What should each one look like?

    Thanks,

    Jim,

    Black oxide is smooth and has a sheen. Black phosphate has an etched surface and has facets that sparkle in the sun light. Yes, one might describe a phosphate finish as a rough, textured appearance.
