Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a Cr alloy plating bath comprising a sulfate bath consisting essentially of divalent Cr ion and trivalent Cr ion in a total amount of between 1.5 to 2.0 mol/l, cation of one or more than two selected from the group consisting of potassium ion, sodium ion and ammonium ion in a total amount of 1.5 to 2.5 mol/l, and metal ion of one or more than two selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni and Co, in an amount of less than 0.6 mol/l, wherein the invention provides stable plating, without requiring a separation between electrolytes with a diaphragm, and provides good deposition at high current efficiencies.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A method of electrodepositing a chromium alloy plate which comprises electrolyzing an aqueous bath consisting of a chromium salt providing from 1.5 to 2.0 mol/liter of trivalent and divalent ions, alkali salt providing from 1.5 to 2.5 mol/liter of an ion selected from the group consisting of potassium ion, sodium ion and ammonium ion, and a salt of alloying metal providing not less than 0.6 mol/liter of an ion selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and cobalt; wherein said bath is maintained at a temperature between 30° to 80° C., said bath is maintained at a pH of between 1.5 and 1.8, and said bath is subjected to a current density of between 10 to 80 A/dm 2 .
