An electrode adapted for chromium plating from trivalent chromium baths which comprises a conductive base, an electrode material layer comprising iridium oxide formed thereon, and a porous layer formed on the surface of the electrode material layer. The porous can comprise an oxide containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of silicon, molybdenum, titanium, tantalum, zirconium, and tungsten. Use of this electrode for chromium plating reduces the oxidation of trivalent chromium into hexavalent chromium.

Electrode for chromium plating

A chromium plating method using a plating bath comprising trivalent chromium and an electrode which is an anode comprising an electrode substrate of titanium, tantalum, zirconium, niobium or an alloy thereof, coated with an electrode catalyst comprising at least iridium oxide and, optionally, at least one of titanium, tantalum, niobium, zirconium, tin, antimony, ruthenium, platinum, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten or an oxide thereof. The anode may be placed directly in the chromium plating bath or may be placed in an anode chamber partitioned from the chromium plating bath with an ion-exchange membrane. The chromium plating method may be a barrel plating method.
