Abstract
Chromium-molybdenum alloy electrodeposits were obtained from the Sargent's chromium plating bath, to which molybdenum salt had been added, under the similar plating conditions to those of the Sargent bath with no addition of the salt. Chromium-molybdenum alloy deposits (containing more than 3% of molybdenum) of about 50μ in thickness gave hardness of Hv 1, 000-1, 300, which was higher than that of the conventional hard chromium plating, and their abrasion resistance was also 2-3 times as high as that of the latter.The relation between the molybdenum content of these deposits and the hardness or the amount of abrasion could be expressed by the following equations, respectively.Hardness (Hv)=95.8x+715Amount of abrasion (mg)=-3.8x+33.3where x=Molybdenum content of the deposits (%)As shown in the above equations, the hardness increased about 100Hv and the amount of abrasion decreased about 4mg with the increase in 1% of molybdenum content in the deposits.
