The authors studied the effect of molybdenum on the surface structure and certain physicomechanical properties of the electrolytic chromium produced by Cr-Mo electrodeposition from CrO/sub 3/ solutions with added SO/sub 4//sup 2 -/ and SiF/sub 6//sup 2 -/ ions. The results indicate that the changes in hardness, hydrogenation, and internal stresses of the chromium coatings which occur upon alloying with molybdenum are chiefly due to structural changes, while the incorporation of Mo into chromium by itself does not markedly affect these characteristics. The structural changes of chromium which occur following the codeposition of molybdenum evidently are due, not only to a change in the relative concentration of anions in the cathodic film, particularly a decrease in the content of catalytic anions in the film, but also to special features in chromium electrocrystallization, an aspect which requires special consideration involving methods of investigating fine structure and surface composition.
