Abstract

A study of massive chromium electrodeposited from aqueous chromic-acid electrolytes at elevated temperatures—the relative effect of the catalytic action of sulfate, fluoride, and silicofluoride ions on mechanical properties was investigated with a subsequent determination of optimum compositions.
