Abstract

The present invention relates to an improvement of the method for electrolytic coloring of anodically produced oxide layers on aluminum and its alloys, by electrolytic treatment in a metal salt (Ni, Co, Cu) solution. It is characterized in that one establishes in the coloring electrolyte a content of 0.02 to 0.75 grams copper per liter. The method permit uniform and reproductible coloring to be undertaken in a simple manner.
