Black chrome has been in existence for over six decades, initially pioneered by the American chemical manufacturer Allied Chemical in the 1960s. Early versions of this coating were harder and more textured compared to decorative chrome, making them ideal for non-reflective surfaces. These finishes often required an additional oil dip to enhance their corrosion resistance.
Modern black chrome processes have evolved to use trivalent chrome plating, which allows for smoother, more reflective finishes without the need for post-dip treatments. This advancement ensures better coverage and eliminates the requirement for waxing or oiling to improve the final appearance.
The choice of substrate—whether bright nickel, satin nickel, or dull nickel—directly affects the final look, ranging from a glossy black to a matte finish. One notable example is “Dusk Chrome,” a specification used in the automotive industry, which combines a satin nickel underlayer with a black chrome topcoat.
