摘要:
To provide a substrate of aluminum with a dark surface layer of high absorption/emission ratio for luminous energy, the degreased and pickled substrate is immersed in a hot chromating bath until an oxide coating of not more than 2.5.mu. thickness is formed thereon. This coating is then colored black in a hot, acidic dyeing solution (pH between about 0.5 and 5) of potassium permanganate and a nitrate of cobalt or copper.
