The Electrochemical Colouring of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Environmentally Benign Solutions

该项目将处理以下问题：基于良性化学的不锈钢着色替代工艺充分了解化学/迄今为止开发的着色工艺的电化学，包括不锈钢基底所起的作用。为了确定使用良性化学物质的成本，以确定它们是否可用于商业规模的生产，对成功工艺的着色阶段进行了调查，它们的工艺参数，即溶液组成、工艺时间和温度等的研究着色表面性能，例如保色性、耐磨性、膜稳定性等的研究有前途的着色系统的放大问题的研究。

The project will address the following issues : Alternative processes for colouring stainless steel based on benign chemistriesA full understanding of the chemistry/electrochemistry of the colouring processes developed to date including the role played by the stainless steel substrateTo scope the cost of using benign chemistries to determine if they are viable for manufacture on a commercial scaleAn investigation of the colouring stages for successful processes in terms of their process parameters i.e. solution compositions, process times and temperatures etcAn investigation of coloured surface properties e.g. colour retention, abrasion resistance, film stability etcAn investigation of scale-up issues of promising colouring systems.
