The present invention refers to an electroplating bath for depositing chromium which comprises at least one trivalent chromium salt, at least one complexing agent, at least one halogen salt and optionally further additives. Moreover, the invention refers to a process for depositing chromium on a substrate using the mentioned electroplating bath.

Electroplating bath containing trivalent chromium and process for depositing chromium

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the corrosion resistance of a chrome-plated substrate wherein at least one part of a chrome-plated surface of a chrome-plated substrate is dipped into an electrolyte comprising trivalent chromium ions, at least one conducting salt and at least one reducing agent, and afterwards, a trivalent chromium oxide film is formed on the at least one part of the chrome-plated surface by applying a pulse reverse current between the chrome-plated surface and a counter electrode electrically connected with the chrome-plated surface through the electrolyte. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a chrome-plated substrate obtainable by this method.

Method for increasing the corrosion resistance of a chrome-plated substrate

The invention relates to a substrate with a corrosion resistant coating comprising at least one nickel layer and at least one chromium layer as finish. Between these layers, at least one tin-nickel alloy layer is deposited for suppression of corrosion reactions determined by CASS and Russian mud tests. The invention relates also to a method for producing such substrates with corrosion resistant coating.
