A METHOD OF TREATING MATERIAL HAVING A METALLIC SURFACE TO IMPROVE THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF SAID SURFACE, COMPRISING MAKING THE SAID MATERIAL A CATHODE IN AN AQUEOUS HEXAAVALENT CHROMIUM ELECTROLYTE CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF ABOUT 1-10 OUNCES PER GALLON OF A WATER SOLUBLE CHROMATE AND A SMALL BUT EFFECTIVE AMUNT NOT LESS THAN ABOUT 0.1 OUNCE PER GALLON OF A SUBSTANCE SELECTED FROM THE CLASS CONSISTING OF BORIC ACID AND WATER SOLUBLE BORATES OF WHICH THE CATIONS WILL NOT DEPOSIT AT THE CATHODE UNDER THE PROCESS CONDITIONS, AND ADDING A CHROMIUM-CONTAINING FILM TO SAID SURFACE IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO IMPROVE THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF THE MATERIAL BY PASSING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH THE MATERIAL AND THE ELECTROLYTE, THE ELECTROLYTE HAVING A PH OF AT LEAST 5 AND THE SAID SUBSTANCE BEING EFFECTIVE TO REDUCE SUBSTANTIALLY THE QUANTITY OF CURRENT NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE SAID CORROSION RESISTANCE.
