Abstract
A process for dyeing an aluminum-containing zinc-based alloy, which comprises immersing an aluminum-containing zinc-based alloy in an alkaline solution containing hexavalent chromium ion, further immersing the thus treated alloy in an acidic aqueous solution and then dyeing the thus further treated alloy in an aqueous solution of an organic dyestuff thereby to obtain a dyed aluminum-containing zinc-based alloy having decorative appearance and corrosion resistance.
Claims3
A process for dyeing an aluminum-containing zinc based alloy containing from 12 to 30 weight % of aluminum, comprising the steps of:
- immersing said aluminum-containing zinc-based alloy in an alkaline aqueous solution containing hexavalent chromium ion, further immersing the thus treated alloy in an acidic aqueous solution containing hexavalent chromium ion and then dyeing the thus further treated alloy in an aqueous solution of an organic dyestuff thereby to obtain a dyed aluminum-containing zinc-based alloy having decorative appearance and corrosion resistance.
