Colored Stainless Steel - Inco Process

Unknown to most, stainless steel does have a layer of oxide, but a transparent one. The INCO process can electrochemically alter this oxide layer. This produces an appearance of color ranging from black, navy blue to reddish and golden tones.
By applying a decorative masking to such materials, this layer of oxide can be removed selectively, to expose the underlying silver color of Stainless Steel. The result are very attractive 2 color design patterns.
