The Cr plating method is a method of electrodepositing metal Cr on the surface of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance, and is conventionally used for 5US430, which does not have sufficient corrosion resistance. However, this method requires a large current of several tens of A/dI02 or more for plating, and also has a long processing time, resulting in high processing costs.

They developed a method using stage processing. That is, the present inventors immersed stainless steel in a mixed aqueous solution of chromic acid and monosulfuric acid, and then prepared an aqueous solution in which one or more of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and molybdate were added to chromic acid.

In the first step of the present invention, stainless steel is treated in a mixed aqueous solution of chromic acid and monosulfuric acid to once dissolve the passivation film on the surface and remove Mn, which is the starting point of rusting.
Non-metallic inclusions such as S are also dissolved and a passivation film is formed again. This treatment consists of a mixed aqueous solution of chromic acid (
CrO2) concentration is 10097C or more, sulfuric acid concentration is 300
9/g or more, and immersion is carried out at an aqueous solution temperature of 50° C. or more for 2 to 60 minutes depending on the aqueous solution temperature. If the thickness of the film re-formed by this treatment becomes too thick, the film will be colored deep blue. For this reason, if coloring is not desired, the stainless steel is pulled out of the mixed aqueous solution immediately before it is colored. As for the timing of pulling up, you should know in advance the immersion time depending on the concentration and temperature of the jR mixed ice aqueous solution, and when that time comes, pull it up (1), or observe the natural electrode potential of the stainless steel in the mixed aqueous solution. Then, when the potential reaches a predetermined potential, the potential can be raised. The reason why the raising timing can be determined based on the latter natural electrode potential is as follows.

1. That is, when a reference electrode (for example, platinum) that is not attacked by the mixed aqueous solution is immersed in the mixed aqueous solution and this electrode is connected to stainless steel, the natural electrode potential of the stainless steel corresponds to the thickness of the passivation film. changes as shown in the attached drawings,
At point A, the passivation film suddenly becomes thicker and becomes colored. Therefore, if the stainless steel is pulled up just before the potential reaches point A, it can be prevented from being colored.

Once the passivation film has been formed as described above, the second step is to add one or more of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and molybdate to chromic acid in an aqueous solution. This cathodic electrolytic treatment is performed at a low current density to precipitate hydroxides of Cr" or Cr2+ on the stainless steel surface. This cathodic electrolytic treatment is performed by increasing the concentration of chromic acid in the aqueous solution to 10097e or higher, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, or molybdic acid.

112 is most preferred. This has an electrolytic amount of IA-16in.
If it is less than /da+2, the treatment effect will be small, and 5A-II
When it is larger than li11/dII+2, processing time and power consumption increase, which is not only uneconomical but also tends to lower corrosion resistance.
