A Research Investigation of Fundamental Factors Governing the Ductility and Hot Hardness of Electrodeposited Chromium

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop further the fundamental principles of chromium plating, and, in the light of these principles, to modify the chromium plating process to produce an improved type of plate for service on Ordnance materiel, and, in particular, on gun tubes for hypervelocity firing. The scope of the work to be performed is outlined as follows: Identify factors governing the ductility and hot hardness of chromium plate; Amplify and extend the data on the mechanism of chromium plating; Conduct the research with an ultimate objective to recommend application of the principles developed to improving the chromium plating process to achieve crack-free hot-hard plate.
