  • Publication number: 20220213611
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrolyte for micro-arc oxidation, which includes silicate, a fluoride, an alkali metal hydroxide, a pore modifier selected from at least one of triethanolamine and diethanolamine, and a polar solvent. Also disclosed is a method for dyeing a substrate which includes immersing a metal substrate as an anode into the electrolyte, oxidizing the substrate to form an oxide layer on the substrate, applying a solution containing a dye on the oxide layer, and allowing the dye to adhere on the oxide layer, so as to obtain a half-finished product, and forming a sealing layer on the half-finished product.
