    Abstract: A process for plating thick chromium coatings for engineering applications comprises depositing a thin initial layer from a low concentration chromium III/thiocyanate bath and depositing the bulk of the remaining thickness from a relatively higher concentration chromium III/thiocyanate bath. Deposits produced by this two-stage process are more cohesive and smoother than those obtainable by plating the entire thickness from the high concentration bath alone.

    Abstract: A chromium electroplating electrolyte comprising a source of trivalent chromium ions, a complexant, a buffer agent and a sulphur species selected from sulphites and dithionites, the complexant being selected so that the stability constant K1 of the chromium complex as defined herein is in the range 10 M preferably the chromium ions have a molar concentration lower than 0.01M. Complexants within this range include aspartic acid, iminodiacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, 5-sulphosalicylic acid and citric acid.

    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.
