Hi Behnam,
There are several suppliers of black chromium solutions. In a proprietary process popular in Europe, the anodes are lead/tin anodes (10-15% tin) . The ratio between anode and cathode is important. You must have a ratio anode/cathode 1,2-2,1. The bath is operated at a low temperature, 14 °C.
