Abstract:
A halide based stress reducing agent is added to the bath of a rhodium plating solution. The stress reducing agent reduces stress in the plated rhodium, increasing the thickness of the rhodium that can be plated without cracking. In addition, the stress reducing agent does not appreciably decrease the wear resistance or hardness of the plated rhodium.
