What is the difference between trivalent chromium plating and trivalent chromate?

Is trivalent chromium plating different from trivalent chromate?

Q: Is trivalent chromium plating different from trivalent chromate? A: Yes, they are different. The coating of chromium plating is metallic, while the chromate coating is a chemical conversion coating. Trivalent chromium plating is typically applied over nickel plating, and the base material can be any metal that can be plated. However, trivalent chromate is generally applied after zinc plating, but we can also directly apply trivalent chromate to aluminum.
