In this regard, there is a method of cathodic electrolyzing the colored oxide film formed on the surface of stainless steel in an electrolytic solution consisting of sulfuric acid and chromic acid to precipitate chromium in the film to improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It is disclosed by INCO (Special Publication No. 53-31817).

[0005] This INCO method involves a "coloring" process and a "dural" process.
This process consists of two steps, each of which is performed using independent solution composition, temperature, and treatment conditions, and is mainly used in the batch process to produce veneer colored stainless steel sheets.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the two steps of performing "hardening" after "coloring" in the conventional method, the color tone during the "coloring" process changes during the "hardening" process, and the main problem in the "coloring" process is that The immersion method used in the present invention has a problem in that color unevenness inevitably occurs on the end surface of the object to be colored.

[0008]Furthermore, the number of mirror-finish materials has increased recently, reflecting the trend toward higher-end products. In this case, there is a tendency to prefer objects with high clarity of image reflected on the surface. Therefore, a so-called 00 polishing finishing material is used as a mirror material, but when this material made using conventional techniques is subjected to coloring treatment, uneven coloring often occurs due to uneven polishing, which is a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The causes of uneven color are due to non-uniformity of materials (differences in composition, hardness, etc.), adhesion of dust and oil, and dirt. Dirt can be removed by cathodic treatment using hydrogen gas bubbles, and surface unevenness can be solved by applying a uniform passive film to the outermost surface (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-60894).

[0011] However, in addition to the above-mentioned causes, the color unevenness of mirror-polished finishing materials (hereinafter referred to as mirror-finished materials), which has been increasing in quantity in recent years, is mainly caused by a phenomenon in which color unevenness is detected when the polishing marks develop color. It is something.

[0012] As a result of detailed investigation into the causes of color unevenness caused by this polishing, the inventors found that it is caused by the amount and thickness of machining strain existing on the surface depending on the degree of polishing, and whether there is a machining strain layer. We have discovered that this can be evaluated by measuring surface residual stress. Furthermore, we established a method that can eliminate uneven color development by uniformly grinding the surface of this strained layer by electrolytic polishing.
