Black Chrome - Smoky Chrome by Betzmann Galvanik
This dark anthracite to slightly black shiny look is now popular for many car parts or cell phones and is a very good alternative to black rhodium or black ruthenium.
Alternative to black rhodium or black ruthenium.
Black chrome is a spectacular finish and always an eye catcher.
Recommended electrode: Carbon Electrode 10 Volt - Platinum electrode 11 Volt.
Plating on degreased copper, nickel, gold flash or any other gold plating.

Transport (UN number) | None: Not classified as dangerous for transport |
Notes:
- Heat treating at 220 °C increases the hardness of the deposit from 800 to 1600 Hv.
- The voltage should be raised from 10 volts if using a Carbon Electrode to 11 volts when
using a Platinum Electrode. - We strongly advise against the use of stainless steel anodes for most of our plating processes.
- Plating rates are calculated over a sample area which is permanently covered by swab.
