Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a trivalent chromium plating film, in which the generation of cracks penetrating from the film surface to a substrate interface is suppressed, and a sliding member coated with the trivalent chromium plating film, plating is conducted with a chromium plating bath containing trivalent chromium as a chromium source, with a second phase dispersed in a planar and/or fibrous form, such that the second phase in a planar and/or fibrous form is dispersed in the hard chromium plating film to prevent or deflect the propagation of cracks, and to suppress the increase of the crack width, thereby suppressing the propagation of cracks in the hard chromium plating film.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hard composite chromium plating film produced with a chromium plating bath using trivalent chromium as a chromium source, comprising a second phase dispersed in said film; said second phase being planar Al 2 O 3 having an average diameter of 5-50 μm and an aspect ratio of 5-100 and/or fibrous Al 2 O 3 having and an average diameter of 0.5-5 μm and an aspect ratio of 5-100; and an area ratio of said second phase being 3-60% in a cross section perpendicular to a surface of said film. 2. The hard composite chromium plating film according to claim 1 , wherein said second phase consists of said planar Al 2 O 3 . 3. The hard composite chromium plating film according to claim 1 , wherein said second phase consists of said fibrous Al 2 O 3 . 4. The hard composite chromium plating film according to claim 1 , wherein said second phase is a single crystal. 5. The hard composite chromium plating film according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum crack width observed in a cross section perpendicular to a surface of said film is less than 5 μm. 6. The hard composite chromium plating film according to claim 1 , having hardness HV0.05 of 600-1600. 7. A sliding member coated with the hard composite chromium plating film recited in any one of claims 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , and 6 .
