  2. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    In the case of titanium, niobium, and stainless steel, the colour formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodizing voltage). Chemically coloring a metal is distinct from simply coating it using a method such as gilding or mercury silvering , because chemical coloring involves a chemical reaction, whereas ...

  3. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    Transition metal compounds are often colored because of transitions of electrons between d-orbitals of different energy. (see Transition metal#Colored compounds ). Organic compounds tend to be colored when there is extensive conjugation , causing the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO to decrease, bringing the absorption band from the UV to ...

  5. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    Differential tempering is a method of providing different amounts of temper to different parts of the steel. The method is often used in bladesmithing, for making knives and swords, to provide a very hard edge while softening the spine or center of the blade. This increased the toughness while maintaining a very hard, sharp, impact-resistant ...

  6. Glass coloring and color marking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_coloring_and_color...

    Glass containing two or more phases with different refractive indices shows coloring based on the Tyndall effect and explained by the Mie theory, if the dimensions of the phases are similar or larger than the wavelength of visible light. The scattered light is blue and violet as seen in the image, while the transmitted light is yellow and red.
