Hard chrome plating also sometimes called chromium plating, is an electroplating process in which a layer of chromium is deposited onto a surface. This layer of chromium protects and extends the life of the part by improving wear resistance, reducing the coefficient of friction, and increasing mild corrosion resistance. These coatings can be applied in a wide range of thicknesses from as low as 0.0002” to 0.020” or more.
Hard chrome is widely used in many applications spanning across every industry such as aerospace and agriculture equipment parts. Some common applications include hydraulic cylinder rods,valves, crankshafts, induction hardened piston rods, bailing hooks, harvester rolls, actuator housings, injection molds, dies, rod cylinders and rollers.
Features & Benefits of Hard Chrome Plating
- Increased hardness of HRC 65-70
- Excellent sliding wear resistance
- Great abrasion resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Excellent release properties
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- High heat mitigation
- Superior bond strength to base metal
