Most box have black shafted barbells in them but did you know that not all black finish are created equal?
Black Oxide is common and inexpensive, the raw material is immersed in a bath where a black color oxidation occurs on the surface of the steel. black oxide is a good finish for bars,it provide an excellent feel in the hand.take chalk as well and looks great when new or well cared for. a significant downside to blackoxide finishes is that it will corrode and allows rust in many environment. the more humid your garage gym, the faster the bar will rust if you dont oil it regularly
Black zinc finish is more expensive than Black Oxide. but it carry all the benefits of black oxide plus much greater rust resistance. a black zinc is created when steel is first immersed in a bath and given a brightly zine finish and them immersed in a second bath for a black oxide finish on top of zinc finish.
