On top of using a premium 1045 grade of steel, Blackstar sprockets are induction hardened on tooth counts 30 and below. Induction hardening is a type of surface hardening in which the teeth are induction hardened then quenched. The quenched teeth then undergo a martensitic transformation, increasing the hardness of the teeth. This drastically increases the performance and durability of the sprocket. Dimensionally Blacksatar sprockets are made to ANSI B29.1 standards so they directly interchange with other brands.
to wrap things up, all the Blackstar roller chain sprockets are black oxide coated. Black oxide is also known as blackening is a conversion coating utilized for mild corrosion resistance and appearance that minimalizes light reflection. The black oxide also provides minimum buildup versus other coatings.
