There are mainly the following coloring methods for black brushed stainless steel sheet:
1. Water plating coloring
Water plating is a more traditional coloring method. In the water plating process, an aqueous solution containing metal salts is used. The black brushed stainless steel plate is used as the cathode and placed in the electroplating tank. Through electrolysis, metal ions are deposited on the surface of the stainless steel plate to form a black coating. In this process, it is necessary to strictly control the concentration, temperature, current density and electroplating time of the solution. The advantages of water plating are relatively simple equipment and low cost, but the disadvantages are that the wastewater contains heavy metal ions, which will pollute the environment if not properly handled, and the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coating are relatively weak.
2. Vacuum ion plating coloring
This is an advanced coloring technology. First, the black brushed stainless steel plate is placed in a vacuum chamber, and then the target material is ionized using an ion source. Under the action of the electric field, these ions hit the surface of the stainless steel plate at high speed and are deposited on it to form a black coating. The advantages of vacuum ion plating are obvious. It can accurately control the thickness and uniformity of the coating, and the resulting black coating has a dense texture, high hardness, strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Moreover, since the whole process is carried out in a vacuum environment, the interference of external impurities is avoided, making the combination of the coating and the stainless steel plate more firmly. In addition, it has less pollution to the environment, but the equipment cost is high and requires professional operators and maintenance.
3. High-temperature oxidation coloring
By placing the black brushed stainless steel plate in a high-temperature environment, the metal on the surface of the stainless steel reacts chemically with oxygen to form a black oxide film. In this process, temperature, time and the composition of the oxidizing atmosphere are key control factors. The color formed by high-temperature oxidation coloring is closely combined with the stainless steel matrix, but the high-temperature resistance and process control requirements of the equipment are high. If the control is not good, it may cause uneven color or affect the performance of the stainless steel plate.
4. Chemical coloring method
Chemical reagents are used to react with the surface of stainless steel to generate colored compounds. This method can achieve complex color effects, but it is necessary to pay attention to the safety of chemical reagents and the impact on the environment, and at the same time, the reaction conditions must be strictly controlled to ensure the uniformity and stability of the color.
