Reducing the reflectance of a metallic surface

A method of reducing the reflectance of a metallic surface 2 comprises immersing the surface in a liquid dielectric 5, causing electric current to flow from an electrode, eg. anode 6 in the dielectric to the surface and moving the electrode relative to the surface such that an area of the surface is...

description A method of reducing the reflectance of a metallic surface 2 comprises immersing the surface in a liquid dielectric 5, causing electric current to flow from an electrode, eg. anode 6 in the dielectric to the surface and moving the electrode relative to the surface such that an area of the surface is roughened. This method produces surfaces having lower reflectance values than those produced by prior art methods eg. painting, chemical blacking. In addition, the liquid dielectric removes a proportion of the heat generated by this process, thereby rendering it suitable for use on low melting-point materials, eg. aluminium, which was not possible hitherto.
