Abstract
A chromium electroplating solution in which the source of chromium comprises an equilibrated aqueous solution of chromium (III) - thiocyanate complexes having supporting electrolyte consisting essentially of potassium sulphate or, preferably, a mixture of potassium and sodium sulphates. The solution is employed as the catholyte in a plating bath in which the catholyte and anolyte are separated by a cation exchange membrane. This all-sulphate bath permits the use of lead anodes, has high efficiency and a good plating range.
