PROCESS FOR PLATING CHROMIUM FROM A TRIVALENT CHROMIUM PLATING BATH

摘要

A plating process for plating chromium metal onto substrates is disclosed. The process uses a trivalent chromium plating bath with a sulfate and/or sulfonate matrix. The process also utilizes insoluble anodes. An addition of manganese ions to the plating bath inhibits the formation of detrimental hexavalent chromium ions upon use of the plating bath.
