Abstract
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.
