Abstract
<p>This study was conducted to improve four characteristics as objectives:(1) high current efficiency, (2) high surface brightness, and (3) high hardness of chromium-carbon (Cr-C) alloy layers during electrochemical deposition from Cr(III) ions, and (4) reproducibility of the Cr-C layer formation during repeated plating with a Cr-C electroplating bath. A malonic-acid-containing sulfuric acid bath (sulfuric acid bath II) was prepared by adding an arrangement to a conventional sulfuric acid bath (sulfuric acid bath I). The malonic-acid-containing sulfuric acid bath II achieves the four objectives. Optimizing the bath composition and the electrochemical deposition conditions of the sulfuric acid bath II containing malonic acid was accomplished with a 0.2 M added malonic acid concentration, a 1.5 pH bath, and 33.4 A dm-2 plating current density. The current efficiency under these optimized conditions was 55.9%. Also, the C co-deposition percentage was 39.7%. Using a plating bath with a sulfuric acid bath II containing 0.2 M malonic acid, testing for the Cr-C layer reproducibility was performed repeatedly when plating: both the current efficiency and the C co-deposition percentage continued to be greater than 55% and 39%, respectively. However, the surface uniformity of the Cr-C layer tended to decrease after the fifth plating. Comparison of the surface brightness with that achieved using conventional baths demonstrated that the 0.2 M malonic-acid-containing sulfuric acid bath II was able to maintain high brightness.</p>
