Abstract

Functional chromium and chromium-alloy deposits are obtained from an electroplating solution having substantially the composition: 22 g/l Cr.sup.+3 ; 250 g/l KCl; 63 g/l H.sub.3 BO.sub.3 ; 30 g/l HCO.sub.2.sup.= ; 15 g/lKBr; and 120 ppm of a wetting agent. The plating solution provides improved efficiency, stress values and appearance over the prior art, and is tolerant of metallic iron and ionic iron and ammonium.
