Abstract

Electrochemical dc methods were used to study the reduction of chromium (VI) in the presence of organic additives. It is shown that F - , thiourea, and citric acid are essential to enable deposition of black chrome from concentrated chromic acid solutions. A new formulation of the plating bath is defined. The optimum operating conditions under which spectrally selective surface of black chrome is deposited have been determined.
