Nickel chrome plated plating is the most common electroplating technique, which uses nickel and chromium deposits to form a multilayer finish on the substrate. The motorcycle and automotive industries use this process to achieve a shiny and glossy appearance on their parts. It forms a hard outer layer that improves the corrosion and wear resistance of the substrate. In addition to metal plating, it is also used in plastic materials for decorative purposes.
Nickel chrome plating technology is the solution to extreme environments with intense corrosion: offshore, marine conditions, wind, solar and aerospace sectors, agriculture,hydraulic parts like cylinder piston rod, mining industry, oil and gas industry.
Steel grades as 1045 or 38MnVS6, having a low carbon content and good weldability, are the most suitable bases for nickel-chrome plated products.
