Abstract
An adhering bismuth layer is provided on steel components for cathode ray tubes by electroless plating in an acidic aqueous solution of bismuth oxynitrate. The bismuth coated steel components are heated in an oxidizing atmosphere, for example in air, at temperatures between 350.degree. C. and 650.degree. C. until the bismuth coating becomes black.
Claims4
A method of providing a black coating on a cleaned and degreased steel component for use in a cathode ray tube, which method comprises:
- providing an electroless plating bath consisting essentially of an acidic aqueous solution of bismuth oxynitrate;
- immersing the steel component in said plating bath for a time sufficient to coat the surface of the component with an adhering bismuth layer;
- and
- heating said bismuth coated component in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature between 350.degree. C. and 650.degree. C. until the bismuth coating becomes black.
