This paper proposes to investigate, analyze and compare two practical optimization approaches for smoothing the side effects of electrodeposited layers in electrochemical reactors. The study case consists in a hydraulic component protected by a thin chromium (Cr) layer. Both optimization approaches are investigated by using a 3D finite element software for solving the Laplace equation. The obtained results using these approaches are compared with the numerical results for an electrodepositing process without any additional thief current systems. The uniformity of the chromium deposition on the test component is greatly improved.
