The experiments performed on technically pure aluminum included: anodization in galvanostatic regime; AC-electrochemical silver incorporation, characterization of the optical properties by light reflectance and refractive colorimetric measurements. This systematic study enabled to determine some correlation between the coloring process duration and the resulting optical and color features.enArticle
