某城市广场 4 m 铜-不锈钢拼接雕塑采用"同色异质"策略:铜部分硫化钾 1 vol% 浸黑,不锈钢部分电解着色(200 g/L 氢氧化钠、电流密度 0.5 A/dm²、3–5 min)成相近黑度,比对以 Lab L* 差 <3 验收。施工要点:先整体遮蔽铜面再做不锈钢电解,接缝两侧各留 2 mm 由手工点彩收边;铜-钢接触面涂绝缘底漆并垫尼龙垫圈,阻断电偶腐蚀——否则半年内接缝铜侧会沿焊线流挂深色锈水污染成品色。

A 4 m public sculpture mixing copper and stainless steel used "same color, different substance": copper dipped black in 1 vol% potassium sulfide, stainless electrolytically colored (200 g/L NaOH, 0.5 A/dm², 3–5 min) to a matching black, accepted at ΔL* < 3 between Lab readings. Mask the copper before electrolysis, leaving 2 mm each side of the seam for hand retouching; insulate the joint with primer and nylon washers to block galvanic corrosion — otherwise dark rust weep lines the weld within six months and stain the finished color.
