The Oiled as Tempered finish provides a basic level of protection against rust and corrosion. As the "default" finish for virtually all of Lectra's springs and fasteners, the Oiled as Tempered finish is suitable for use in applications where there will be little or no exposure to wet or corrosive environments. Springs with this finish have a pleasing "Gun Metal Blue" appearance, and are commonly found in home entertainment and automobile dashboard applications. The Zinc Phosphate/Oil finish protects our steel springs and fasteners against rust and corrosion more than 50 times longer than the standard Oiled as Tempered finish, as determined by our ongoing ASTM B117 Salt Fog environmental tests. Used extensively in laundry, kitchen, and automotive applications, this finish gives the parts a distinctive flat-black appearance, and is the best choice wherever moderate exposure to moisture and/or corrosive atmosphere is anticipated.
