Abstract
Electrodeposited chromium‐graphite composite coatings have been produced by suspending graphite particles, using mechanical stirring, in a conventional chromium plating bath. The effect of various plating variables on the graphite content of the coating has been studied. It has been concluded that under the plating conditions studied, the second adsorption step of the two‐step adsorption mechanism proposed by Guglielmi controls the deposition kinetics in this system.
