Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3241928A2] An electrolyte solution for chrome plating from trivalent chromium is prepared by dissolving in an aqueous medium a trivalent chromium salt (e.g., chromium (III) chloride or chromium (III) sulfate), dissolving an oxalate compound (e.g., sodium oxalate, potassium oxalate, or oxalic acid), dissolving a metal salt (e.g., aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride), dissolving an alkali metal sulfate (e.g., sodium sulfate or potassium sulfate), and dissolving an alkali metal halide (e.g., sodium fluoride or potassium fluoride). A substrate is chrome plated from trivalent chromium using the electrolyte solution by passing a current between a cathode and an anode through the electrolyte solution to deposit chromium on the substrate.
