hardchrome plating
Hardchrome plating (also known as Industrial Chrome) is a form of electroplating a layer of chromium onto ferrous and non ferrous materials, to improve wear and abrasion, reduce friction and recover dimensions of worn parts.
Advantages of Hardchrome Plating include:
- Corrosion resistance
- Wear resistance
- High Hardness
- Heat resistance
- Low co-efficient of friction
Applications for hard chrome plating include:
- Piston Rings and valves
- Hydraulic rams
- Tools and dies
- Printing wear roller surfaces
- Motor shafts
- Gears
- Bearing and seal surfaces
