By using insoluble anodes and high current densities, it is possible to deposit chromium layers in modified solutions containing chromic acid. In layer thicknesses of less than 1μm, the chrome layers maintain the gloss level of the nickel layers usually used underneath. In principle, almost all common metallic materials, including aluminum and its alloys, can be bright chrome-plated. The underlying layers must be selected depending on the required conditions. We only use a 3-value chrome plating.
