Decorative Chromium Plating Basics

摘要

Electrodeposition of decorative chromium is the principal means of imparting the physical and chemical properties of chromium to the surface of less expensive and easier-to-form materials such as steel and plastics. The most desirable properties of chromium as a metal coating are its inherent protective and decorative characteristics. The deposit's high reflectivity is retained in service because of chromium's excellent lubricity and resistance to tarnish, corrosion, wear and scratches.
