<p>An electrochemical process for decorating a surface, includes marking by a screen or mask which can be subsequently removed to create a decoration including a design, mark or writing, by use of an electrochemical etching solution maintained between a surface to be decorated and an electrode exerting pressure, the surface and the electrode being connected to a generator of electrical current, a pad impregnated with the etching solution being placed between the surface and the electrode, to form a layer of oxide with a thickness of a few thousandths of a micrometer on the surface, and anodizing the decorated surface to form an other layer of oxide, the other layer of oxide being 10 micrometers in depth. The other layer of forms on the surface on which the decoration is applied, maintaining its morphology, and the layer of oxide limits a formation of the other layer of oxide, while at the same time acting upon and emphasizing the morphology of the decorated surface.</p> |
