The measured solar absorptance and spectral emittance of the nickel black and chrome black coatings prepared by lectroplating at various plating current densities were reported. The cyclic heating and cooling technique was mployed for the absorptance measurement of these coatings. The nickel black coating with α=0.87 and ε(100℃)=0.25 was obtained by plating at 30℃ for 5minutes with the current density of 0.1A/dm². Where as the best chrome black coating with α=0.89 and ε(100℃)=0.21 was achieved by plating at 20℃ for one minute with the current density of 100A/dm². Accelerated humidiry and themal durabilitys test result on these coatings was also reported.
