Not in my experience - Cr3 may have a more "blue" appearance - have seen

both bright and dull Cr6 over the years.

Subject: [LF] Chrome6 to Chrome3 conversion for RoHs Compliance



Dear All,



Does anyone have images comparing the plating finish for Cr6(

hexavalent)

vs chrome 3(trivalent). Is Chrome 3  plating finish dull as compared to

Cr6. This would result in some very unhappy customers for a product like

RoHS compliant cellphones  where ID appearance is so critical. Can the

plating experts on the forum, please shed some light on this.

Thank-you



Mumtaz
