The present invention relates to a galvanic bath, to a process for the precipitation of chromium onto objects, and to the use of the process for the generation of textured hard-chrome layers on machine components. The galvanic bath contains in aqueous solution at least one compound delivering chromium(VI)-ions, and it comprises a) chromium(VI)-ions in an amount that corresponds to 100 to 600 g/ltr of chromic acid anhydride, b) sulfate ions in the form of sulfuric acid and/or of a soluble salt thereof in a molar concentration ratio of chromium(VI)-ions to sulfate ions (SO4-2) ranging from 90:1 to 120:1, and c) 2-hydroxyethane sulfonate ions in an amount that corresponds to 0.01 to 3.0 g/ltr of the sodium salt. |
