    摘要: An object comprising a chromium-based coating on a substrate is disclosed. The chromium is electroplated from an aqueous electroplating bath comprising trivalent chromium cations, wherein the chromium-based coating comprises: a first chromium-containing layer, on the substrate, having a thickness of at least 100 nm, and a Vickers microhardness value of 700-1000 HV; a second chromium-containing layer, on the first chromium-containing layer, having a Vickers microhardness value that is at least 1.3 times higher than the Vickers microhardness value of the first chromium-containing layer, and a crystal size of 8-35 nm; and wherein the chromium-based coating exhibits a critical scratch load value (LC2) of at least 60 N in the adhesion test according to ASTM C1624-05 (2015; point 11.11.4.4), and wherein the chromium-based coating does not contain chromium carbide. Further is disclosed a method for its production.
