    Abstract: A very low concentration trivalent chromium plating bath in which the source of chromium is an aqueous solution of a chromium (III)- thiocyanate complex (Cr less than 0.03 M) gives a deposit of unexpectedly light colour. Such a bath is employed to produce thin overcoatings of light coloured chromium and may replace the rinse tank of a first chromium (III)- thiocyanate process which is optimized for efficiency and bath stability rather than colour.

    Abstract: A very low concentration (below 0.03 M) trivalent chromium plating bath in which the source of chromium is an equilibrated aqueous solution of a chromium (III) - thiocyanate complex gives a deposit of unexpectedly light color. Such a bath is employed to produce thin overcoatings of light colored chromium for decorative applications. The bath and process is also used to plate the initial layer of a thick (greater than 5 micron) deposit for engineering applications, the major part of which is plated from a higher chromium concentration bath. Such thick deposits from a higher concentration bath are more cohesive and smoother when plated over an initial layer from the low concentration bath.

    Abstract: A process for electroplating chromium comprising pre-treating the surface of a part to be plated with chromium by forming a deposit of a sulphur compound thereon, which sulphur compound accelerates the reduction of chromium ions to chromium metal. Preferably the deposit is formed cathodically in a solution containing a sulphur species. The sulphur species include thiocyanate, or species having S-O or S-S bonds: or a species having a -C=S or -C-S group within the molecule. Alternatively the sulphur compound can be chemically deposited by evaporating sulphur on to the surface or by immersing the part in a solution of sulphide ions.

    Abstract: A chromium electroplating electrolyte containing trivalent chromium ions, a complexant, a buffer agent and thiocyanate ions for promoting chromium deposition, the thiocyanate having a molar concentration lower than that of the chromium ions. The chromium preferably has a concentration lower than 0.01M. Preferably the complexant is selected so that the stability constant K1 of chromium complex is in the range 10 M . Complexants in this range include aspartic acid, iminodiacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid and 5-sulphosalicylic acid.
