Hi
I am working with a black chromate bath.That composition are 30g/l sodium dichromat
--5 g/l ANHYDROUS sodium sulphate --0.6 g/l of cobalt sulphate -- 0.4 g/l of silver nitrate
and 95 cc/l acetic acid
⇦this on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil links] and ph is 1.8 -- the immersion time 60-120 sec.
I am coating parts by syanide zinc bath ,but I do not get a correct black film and color is going to brown.
please tell me what I do to get a beter film or give to me a new formula for the make a black chromate bath.
thanks.

Dear Hassan,
Its not worth the time and effort making up your own black chromate bath. But a proprietary two part process and save yourself the cost of rejects instead.
