Abstract

The optimal plating settings in the pulse reverse electroplating mode for studying the mechanical properties of hard chromium deposits were derived by using experimental strategies including a factorial portion of central composite design and optimum paths coupled with the desirability function. This allows determining of the operating conditions leading to the highest hardness before and after aging and the lowest amount of occluded hydrogen. The morphologies of prepared films were observed by AFM.
