Need chemical composition of Electrolytic chrome plating
Quickstart:
Chrome plating is essentially pure chromium metal, but decorative chrome plating is actually mostly nickel plating with a flash of chrome on top.
Q. Hai
I am an IMDS engineer, and I want some of chemical compositions of materials
Urgently I want the chemical composition of electrolytic chrome plating
This is the urgent requirement, Please reply me as soon as possible.

A. Hello Raghavendra.
Chrome plating is essentially pure chromium metal, with perhaps a very tiny amount of contaminants. However, when most people speak of chrome plating they actually mean decorative nickel-chrome plating, which consists of a relatively heavy layer(s) of nickel (10 to 40 microns) underneath a thin (less than a half micron) layer of chromium. It's difficult to know exactly what you want, but please see our Intro to Chrome Plating so we can better understand each other.
Sorry, but public forums aren't great for urgent requirements as expert readership can't be mobilized instantly to address your needs, but wanders in and out on its own daily, weekly, or monthly schedule :-)

A. As stated by you, the make up of chrome is 99.9+++% chromium metal with a valence state of zero.
The most common plating bath (but far from the only one) is water, chromic acid and sulfuric acid.
If you are really asking how much hexavalent chrome is in the part, that is zero%. If you are asking how much hex chrome is on the part, that is highly variable, depending on surface finish, shape and quality of rinsing/neutralization.
