Pilot plant production of black chrome in Thailand: from science to technology

Low-cost black Cu–Ni alloy coatings for solar selective applications

“…Electroplating method is gaining importance over other method simply because of its commercial viability and practicability for large-scale production. A number of efforts have been made to electrodeposit black chromium [20][21][22][23][24][25], black nickel [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], black cobalt [36][37][38], black molybdenum [39][40][41][42][43], black copper coatings [44][45][46] and black aluminum [47][48][49][50][51]. Other known black coatings are Ni-Sn [52], Ni-Cd [53] Co-Sn [54], Co-Cd [55], Mo-Cu [56] and Fe-P [57].…”
