Using a chrome plating bath containing organic sulfonic acid, plating is
conducted by application of a pulse current to thereby form a crack-free
lower chrome layer on a steel substrate. The lower chrome layer has a
compressive residual stress of 100 MPa or more and a crystal grain size
of from 9 nm to less than 16 nm. Subsequently, by application of a direct
current, a cracked upper chrome layer is formed on the lower chrome
layer, to thereby obtain a chrome plated part. The lower chrome layer
imparts the chrome plated part with heat resistance and corrosion
resistance, and the upper chrome layer imparts the chrome plated part
with wear resistance and good sliding properties.
