B0561/7000 WAX/dpv 8/9/90 1736a ABSTRACT The invention provides an improved electrolytic process for producing anodized metal substrates such as aluminum or aluminum alloys colored using optical interference effects. In particular, the invention pertains to a novel electrolytic method of modifying the anodic barrier layer. The method results in all colors of the visible spectrum Without the need for anodizing in a separate phosphoric acid-based electrolyte. The modification procedures consists of treating the metal substrate with a sequence of direct and alternating currents. The alternating current is symmetrical, the voltage of the positive half-wave equal to that of the negative half-wave. A preferred red sequence is direct current, alternating current, direct current. As a result, metallic oxide is deposited within the enlarged pores to a defined height, thus achieving the decomposition of light and obtaining the different colors of the visible spectrum. The modification step can be performed in the anodizing bath, the electrocoloring bath, or in a specific bath with an acid electrolyte.
