(Prior art) Conventionally, lead and lead alloy electrodes have been mainly used as anodes for chrome plating, but these electrodes wear out in 3 to 6 months and must be replaced in a short period of time. The lead that has been consumed inside is deposited as sludge, which has an adverse effect on the object to be plated, and furthermore, the treatment of the deposited sludge incurs considerable costs.

For this purpose, the use of insoluble anodes that do not generate sludge is being considered. Insoluble anodes include metal electrodes in which platinum group metals or their oxides are coated on a valve metal substrate such as titanium, or carbon dioxide formed on a valve metal substrate such as titanium through an intermediate layer of platinum group metals or their oxides. Lead-coated lead dioxide electrodes are known.

When a metal electrode is used as an anode for chrome plating, sufficient plating is possible at the beginning, but plating becomes poor gradually. The reason for this is that chromium ions in the plating bath are reduced from hexavalent to trivalent on the cathode (the object to be plated). Metal electrodes have a weak ability to oxidize chromium ions from trivalent to hexavalent, and the amount of trivalent chromium ions in the chrome plating bath increases.
The plating bath will need to be regenerated, making stable plating operations impossible.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In order to solve these problems, as in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-58312, a titanium expanded metal is spot welded onto a titanium plate to form a base, and a platinum group Electrodes have been developed in which a lead dioxide layer is coated with an intermediate layer of metals or their oxides. Recent chrome plating baths add fluorides or silicate to increase plating efficiency, which causes severe wear and tear on the electrodes, but lead dioxide is relatively resistant to corrosion and is ideal as an anode for chrome plating. It is. but,
Although the mechanical strength of this electrode has been greatly improved, the electrolyte enters through the pinholes on the lead dioxide and corrodes the titanium metal base, making it impossible to conduct electrolysis even though the coating remains. There were still problems to be solved.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to use a lead dioxide electrode as an anode for chrome plating, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies from the viewpoint of protecting the electrode surface. As a result, by adding a small amount of lead ions to the chrome plating bath, in the chrome plating operation using a lead dioxide electrode as an anode, lead dioxide lump crystals are generated on the anode, filling pinholes and preventing electrolyte from entering. It has been found that it is possible to inhibit the corrosion of titanium substrates.

As for the method of adding lead ions, it is preferable to add them as lead salts such as lead carbonate and lead sulfate.
Nitrate and chloride are not preferred because their anions affect the color tone of the plated material.

If the amount of lead ions added is 1 ppm or more, bulk crystals of lead dioxide will begin to precipitate, and the higher the concentration, the more effective the solution will be. However, at about 50 ppm, the lead ions in the bath will be saturated, so adding too much is not enough. It only forms lead chromate precipitates. Therefore, about 1 to about
It is preferably added in a range of 50 ppm.

When chrome plating is performed from a plating bath containing lead ions as in the present invention using a lead dioxide electrode,
Fine bulk crystals of lead dioxide quickly precipitate on the anode surface. The bulk crystals have a particle size of several tens of micrometers and are distributed almost uniformly in a layered manner on the surface of the anode. Although the bulk crystal layer is considerably weaker than the original lead dioxide layer, it does not pose a problem when electricity is applied. In addition, this lumpy crystal layer has the effect of preventing the original lead dioxide layer of the electrode from being reduced due to reverse current when electrolysis is stopped, by reducing the lumpy crystal layer itself, thereby extending the life of the electrode. You can also do it.

Comparative Example 1 Chrome plating was performed using the lead dioxide electrode prepared in Example 1 as an anode. The composition of the plating bath was exactly the same except that no basic lead carbonate was added. When electrolyzed at a current density of 50 A/dm 2 , a voltage increase occurred in 61 days and plating was no longer possible.
At this time, when the electrode was lifted from the electrolytic bath, a portion of the titanium base was corroded and peeling of the lead dioxide layer was observed.
