How to color stainless steel plate

There are three coloured stainless steel plates on the market: Yellow Titanium, Rose Gold and Black Titanium. Yellow titanium and rose metal are vacuum gold plated, black titanium is water gold plated. Not only are there tinted stainless steel in these three colors. While not all colors can be plated by water and vacuum plating, many colors can be achieved, including bronze, champagne gold, rose red, tan, wine red, sapphire blue, gray black, and more.

Learn about vacuum plating

Vacuum coating is to put the cleaned stainless steel plate into a titanium furnace, and by vacuuming, inflating and ionizing the titanium target, the metal ions are emitted to the stainless steel plate, and a color coating is formed on the surface of the stainless steel plate. In addition to water plating black titanium, the colors described herein can be obtained by vacuum plating. Vacuum plating can also be plated with black titanium, but the cost is higher than that of water plating

Learn about water electroplating

Water plating belongs to chemical coloring. The cleaned stainless steel plate is electrolyzed and placed in a pool containing chemicals such as chromic anhydride and sulfuric acid. Through the chemical reaction between the surface of the stainless steel plate and the agent, a black coating is finally obtained. At present, in addition to copper plating, water plating is also black plating, which is not used in other ordinary stainless steel color steel plates.
