Stainless steel coloring
March 3, 2008
we are in the process of doing the stainless steel coloring works. Mix of H2SO4 (d=1.84)of 490g/l and CRO4 of 250g/l at the temp of 70 - 90 degree C.
We only can get 4 relative color so far; with the "blue" "gold" and
"violet". But my question is that is it the only colors I can get by using this Inco method?
Please guide me here and hope I can get the help I needed!
