What should be the ideal working temperature for the bath?
What happen if the temperature is not as per requirement?

Hi, Mohsin. 140 &F would be a common spec, but it can depend upon the type of chrome solution, the concentration, and whether auxiliary anodes are involved. Chrome has a very narrow band where plating will even take place. If the temperature is too high for the current density being used, there will likely be no plating; if it's too low there will likely be burning.
