Abstract

An economically viable electroless process, different from the conventionally used chemical conversion methods, has been developed to deposit nickel black on galvanized iron. Coatings with integrated absorptance (α) lying between 0.90-0.93 and total emittance at 100° C = 0.073 to 0.1 and stable upto 200°C have been obtained. The coatings contain Ni and Zn particles embedded in a suitable matrix of NiO, Ni2O3 and Ni7P3. The coatings contain practically no sulphides and hence are less susceptible to humidity degradation processes.
