Abstract
The contribution of N.T. Kudryavtsev (and later his son V.N. Kudryavtsev) to the development of electrodeposition science and technology, and especially to that of chromium, is inestimable. It is a privilege on this occasion to present some considerations of the two-phase nature of chromium electroplating solutions, caused by the generation of hydrogen gas and the use of vigorous air agitation, and to discuss its influence on fluid conductivity and consequent power consumption during electrodeposition.
