Highly Corrosion Resistant Environmentally-Friendly Chromium Plating
A highly corrosion resistant, environmentally-friendly, whit¬ish chromium plating process is presented in this paper. The corrosion resistance test results on CASS and calcium chlo¬ride (anti-freezing agent) + kaolin were superior to those for conventional hexavalent (Cr+6) chromium plating. The hardness and heat-resistance was also superior to hexavalent plating. Numerous advantages were also seen with this novel chromium process when compared to current conventional trivalent chromium plating technologies.
