Disclosed is a method for forming a high-Re-content alloy film, such as a Re-based film containing Re at 98% or more by atomic composition, or an alloy film containing Re in the range of 65 to less than 98% by atomic composition and at least one of Ni, Fe and Co. The method comprises performing an electroplating process using an electroplating bath containing an aqueous solution which includes a perrhenate ion, at least one ion selected from the group consisting of Ni, Fe, Co and Cr ions, and at least one of a Li ion and a Na ion. The present invention allows a high-Re-content alloy film usable as a corrosion-resistant alloy coating for a high-temperature component or the like to be formed through an electroplating process using an aqueous solution, so as to provide heat/corrosion resistances to the component, even if it has a complicated shape, in a simplified manner at a low cost.

Method for forming Re alloy coating film having high-Re-content through electroplating

Disclosed is a method for forming a Re&#x2014;Cr alloy film consisting of Re in the range of 60 to 90% by atomic composition. The method comprises performing an electroplating process using an electroplating bath containing an aqueous solution which includes a perrhenate ion and a chromium (VI) ion. The present invention allows a Re&#x2014;Cr alloy film usable as a corrosion-resistant alloy coating for a high-temperature component or the like to be formed through an electroplating process using an aqueous solution, so as to provide heat/corrosion resistances to the component, even if it has a complicated shape, in a simplified manner at a low cost.

Method for forming Re-Cr alloy film through electroplating process using bath containing Cr(VI)

Disclosed is a method for forming: a Re&#x2014;Cr alloy film consisting of Re in the range of greater than 0 (zero) to less than 98% by atomic composition, and the remainder being Cr except inevitable impurities; a Re-based film consisting of 98% or more, by atomic composition, of Re, with the remainder being Cr and inevitable impurities; or a Re&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;Ni alloy film consisting of Re in the range of 50 to less than 98% by atomic composition, Cr in the range of 2 to less than 45% by atomic composition, and the remainder being Ni except inevitable impurities. The method comprises performing an electroplating process using an electroplating bath containing an aqueous solution which includes a perrhenate ion and a chromium (III) ion. The present invention allows a Re&#x2014;Cr alloy, Re-based or Re&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;Ni alloy film usable as a corrosion-resistant alloy coating for a high-temperature component or the like to be formed through an electroplating process using an aqueous solution, so as to provide heat/corrosion resistances to the component, even if it has a complicated shape, in a simplified manner at a low cost.
