These plating baths are generally intended for "decorative J chrome plating" or "functional" (hard) chrome electrodeposition. Decorative chrome plating baths are concerned with plating over a wide plating area to provide complete coverage of irregularly shaped articles. On the other hand, functional chrome plating is intended for regularly shaped articles, in which case plating with high current efficiency and high current density is of special importance.

A valent chromium plating bath can typically plate chromium on metal substrates with cathodic efficiencies of about 12% to about 6% at current densities of about 1 to 6 asi. Mixed catalyst chromate plating baths containing sulfate and fluoride ions generally provide higher cathode efficiencies, e.g.

Other chromium plating baths using iodine, bromine or chloride ions as additives can operate at even higher current efficiencies, but these baths produce electrodeposited chromium layers that do not adhere well to the substrate. This results in a chromium electrodeposition layer that is matte or at most semi-glossy in appearance. For example, Chessln in US Pat. No. 4,472,249 describes a high energy efficient functional chromium plating bath that operates at very high current efficiencies, for example about 50%. The plating baths generally consist of chromic acid, sulfate, iodide, and carboxylate; for example, conventional current densities of about 1 to 6 asi are used. Unfortunately, this plating bath has adhesion problems and provides only a semi-gloss plating layer.
