Mr Ramasubramanium

The Tech data sheet from your supplier is your best friend. Read study memorise the operating conditions and implement these.

Conditions and factors affecting hardness are generally

temperature
Current Density
Sulfate ratio to Chromic acid.

Catalysed baths have specific conditions that need accurate implementation.
