Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an aqueous chromium deposition solution containing chromium in the trivalent state, from which a bright decorative chromium plate can be advantageously formed. The chromium deposition solution contains (a) a water-soluble trivalent chromium salt; (b) at least one compound selected from unsubstituted and amino- or hydroxy-substituted carboxylic acids and salts thereof; (c) a water-soluble aluminum salt, and; (d) ammonium ion.
