Abstract: An aqueous composition for the electrolytic deposition of a chromium coating on the surface of a substrate is disclosed, in which it has a pH of between 0 and 1 and which contains a trivalent chromium salt, glycine, an alkali metal salt, an aluminium salt and, optionally, an ammonium salt. The chromium plating process according to the invention comprises the immersion of the substrate to be treated in this composition and the application of a current between this substrate and an anode. This process makes it possible to form a high-quality chromium coating on the entire surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is an actuator of an aircraft including at least one limit stop in which at least one of the bearing surfaces, named destructible bearing surface (19), has at least one destructible portion which is able to, and is arranged to, be irreversibly deformed under the effect of the co-operation by limit contact between the driving member bearing surface (19) and the driven member bearing surface (20), each destructible portion of each destructible bearing surface being mounted to be removable with respect to the stop so as to be able to be replaced. It relates to an aircraft including at least one actuator provided with such an actuator.

Abstract: A method for anodizing a part made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy by immersing the part in an aqueous bath essentially comprising sulfuric acid at a concentration of 150 to 250 g/L and at a temperature of 5 to 25° C. A DC voltage according to a voltage profile comprising a voltage increased at a rate of 1 to 32 V/min is applied to the part. The voltage is maintained at a plateau voltage value of 12 to 20 V for a duration sufficient for obtaining, at the surface of the part, an anode layer having a thickness of 3 to 7 ?m and/or a layer weight of 20 to 150 mg/dm2.
