There are a number of suppliers of Trivalent chromium plating, I hope that is what you are writing about. The main differences between the two processes, trivalent Cr and HexCr is the amount of metal and operating pH. There are a number of papers written about Trivalent Cr plating and the differences between the two processes listing the + and - of each process.
