Abstract

In chromium electrodeposition, crack is inevitably accompanied by chromium layer. Behavior of crack formation and crack density were different from the plating conditions such as current density, temperature, waveform of applied current and so on. And cracks have an influence on the corrosion resistance of chromium deposit, because corrosion occurs through the network of cracks between deposit and substrate. Therefore, many researches have been achieved in order to remove the cracks in chromium deposit. Formation of double layers, Cr/Cr and Ni/Cr were investigated to increase corrosion resistance of chromium deposit in this study. As pretreatment prior to outer chromium coating, acid pickling and current control method were examined. Cracks in cross-section of each sample were observed with SEM and CASS(Copper modified acetic acid salt spray) test was performed to evaluate corrosion resistance. It was found that corrosion resistance of Cr/Cr and Ni/Cr double layers were superior to Cr or Ni single layer from the results of CASS test.
