A high speed electrodeposition process has been developed and employed to deposit hard chromium at high rate of deposition (300 {micro}m/hr) from chromium (III) electrolyte. The deposit`s quality, structure, microhardness and corrosion properties has been examined and related to the prevailing, hydrodynamic conditions of deposition. X-ray diffraction show that the as-deposited chromium to be microcrystalline. The microhardness, corrosion properties and the structural changes which takes place during heat treatment are also presented.
