Abstract (en)

[origin: US4401525A] A two-step process for electrolytically coloring aluminum with metal salts is disclosed in which an oxide layer, produced by direct current in an acidic solution, is colored by means of an alternating current through an electrolyte containing a tin(II) salt. The electrolyte inventively contains 1 to 10 g/l iron(II) salts of sulfuric acid, a sulfuric acid with at most 8 carbon atoms or of sulfamic acid. The process prevents the formation of deposits in the electrolytes on standing. In addition, a considerable color-enhancing effect can be achieved.
