Plating from hexavalent chromium baths: the deposition of chromium electrowinning is widely used both as decorative plating that functional. The most commonly used electrolyte is a solution of hexavalent chromium but, given its characteristics of toxicity, have developed environmentally friendly alternative processes based on trivalent chromium, which allow to solve / reduce environmental health issues (Perterbilt chrome).
Hard chromium is used in applications where mechanical friction conditions are severe as anti-wear coating. It is used eg for landing gear, door systems of aircraft, etc. Since the work of Bunsen (1854) and Genther (1856), the use of electrochemical deposition of chromium has become widely used in all fields of mechanics. Hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of chromium allowed to cover this metal piston rings, the guide-son, rods or cylinders of dampers, ice dispensing pumps, tooling of all kinds. However, galvanic deposits have many drawbacks: Chromium plating baths are chromic acid and sulfuric acid at a ratio of 1/100. The bath has a base of Cr plus 6 which is reduced to Cr plus 3, the molecules are deposited on the workpiece.
Deposition of chromium may be deposited directly onto workpiece according to its use. For cylinders it is advisable to perform a sub-layer of nickel 20 microns to limit corrosion. You should know that the chromium deposit has a low cathode efficiency (15%) and cathode occurs a release of hydrogen which weakens the steel and reduces resistance to fatigue. Degassing treatment is to return to mechanical characteristics of part.
There are basically three configurations of bathrooms: based electrolyte salts of chloride, based electrolyte salts of sulphate electrolyte mixture of salts of sulphate and chloride. We use insoluble anodes of graphite to avoid the phenomenon of oxidation of chromium to anodes. The plating can performed in various ways: Plating hot, Plating cold, electroplated .
Used in plating process chemicals and wastes are extremely toxic, in most countries, this process is under strict regulation. In industry, chromium is used for reducing friction, increase wear resistance, increased corrosion resistance. This process provides enhanced resistance to gas corrosion of steel (scaling resistance) at temperatures up to 800 degrees C, high resistance to corrosion in environments such as water, sea water and nitric acid.
The argon ions that result from this field are attracted to target, they hit violently, tearing metal atoms M and projecting into environment. These atoms will then condense on the surface of objects placed in front of target. We then obtain "diode sputtering", which is very slow. It takes between 10 minutes and 1 hour to obtain a deposition thickness of order of microns.
In recent years, in addition to hexavalent chromium, is used more and more trivalent chromium, defined 'environmentally friendly'. There is then the chromium satin (matte) for which the process is similar except for the last bath where, with use of special oils, you create microbubbles uniformly distributed on the surface of workpiece which give the characteristic matt appearance to surface same.
