Hard Chrome Plating Services

A thick layer of chromium is deposited onto metal components using a specialized electroplating technique called "hard chrome plating," which increases the components' hardness, wear resistance, and durability. Parts are shielded from corrosion, friction, and mechanical damage by this procedure, which produces a smooth and extremely durable surface.

Hydraulic systems, heavy machinery, engineering, automotive, and aerospace are just a few of the industries that require hard chrome plating. It improves the functionality of vital parts such as industrial tools, shafts, rollers, molds, pistons, and cylinders.

To achieve the necessary thickness and smoothness, the plating procedure entails meticulous surface cleaning, chromium electroplating, and precise finishing. The end product is a robust protective layer that increases component life, boosts productivity, lowers maintenance costs, and guarantees dependable operation even in harsh industrial settings.

Key Features:

  • High hardness and excellent wear resistance
  • Superior corrosion and rust protection
  • Low friction surface for smoother operation
  • Increased durability and longer component life
  • Suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications

Applications:

Hard Chrome Plating is commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, industrial rollers, machine parts, molds, tools, automotive components, and engineering equipment where strength and long-term performance are essential.

Specifications:

Hard Chrome Plating provides a durable chromium layer on metal components to enhance hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Below are the common specifications used in industrial applications:

  • Coating Thickness: Typically ranges from 10 to 500 microns, depending on the application and component requirements.
  • Hardness: Approximately 850 to 1000 HV (Vickers Hardness), ensuring excellent resistance to wear and abrasion.
  • Surface Finish: Achieves a smooth finish between 0.1 to 0.8 Ra µm after grinding and polishing.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Offers strong protection against rust, moisture, chemicals, and oxidation.
  • Adhesion Strength: Provides strong bonding with the base metal, preventing peeling or flaking.
  • Base Materials: Suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper alloys, and other engineering metals.
