| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for the galvanic application of a surface coating, in particular a chromium coating, to a body, for example a machine component, characterized in that, before the galvanic application of the surface coating, a layer of a compound that can be oxidized by an electrolyte solution that is used, preferably a polyhydroxy compound with a viscosity of at least 1000 mPas at 25°C, is applied to the body. The present invention also relates to a method for the galvanic application of a surface coating, in particular a chromium coating, to a body, for example a machine component, wherein the surface coating is carried out in a closed reactor in an at least two-stage, preferably three-stage process, characterized in that an electrolyte solution contained in the reactor at a temperature T1 for carrying out a subsequent process stage is substituted by an electrolyte solution at a temperature T2 ≠ T1. The present invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method. |
