The Application and Deposit Characteristics of Duramir BK Black Chrome Plate

This paper evaluates a new metal treating chemical, Duramir BK (black chrome), for an initial use of reducing light reflectivity problems. Laboratory test data comparing Duramir BK with nickel and decorative chromium are also presented, showing wear resistance, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal stability and the ability to provide a base for paint (both standard gray primer and white appliance enamel).
