Electroless nickel plating or chrome plating?

Electroless nickel plating or chrome plating?

The first electrolytes for industrial-level Chrome plating were introduced in the second half of the 19th century and improved in the early 20th century. The main component of the chromium plating bath is the Chromium trioxide CrO3 known as chromic acid when in solution. Chromium in this electrolyte is in hexavalent form and its salts are called Chromates.
