Hard Chrome Plating

Abrasion, Friction, corrosion, heat and vibration are the most frequent causes of wear. Chromium plating resists the effects of these elements, by interposing a super hard, anti-friction, rust resistant layer between exposed surfaces, mating surfaces, and their surrounding parts. We specialize in ID & OD Plating of components.

Finishes:
We can obtain various different finishes based on your requirement.

Hardness:
Chromium is 68-70 Rockwell C as applied.

Corrosion Resistance:
Chromium is highly resistant corrosive attack by water, salt solutions, and most chemicals. Its behavior in corrosive service is closely related to that of Stainless Steels.

Thickness:
Chrome can be applied from .000050” to .10” thick. Coating thicker than .002” will need to be ground after plating.

Specifications:
QQC-320 B, AMS 2406, and ASTM B-2406
