⚜️ Hard chrome plating is a plating process that involves depositing a layer of chrome on the surface by immersing it in a chromic acid solution. Hard chrome plating can increase the durability, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metal components for more effective use in machinery and equipment. Chromium plating can be used without altering the properties of the original components and deposited to the exact thickness required for a particular application. Hard chrome plating creates a surface that is very hard and resistant to corrosion, has a low coefficient of friction and is very clean and easy to clean.
Excellent hardness and durable thickness
Chrome is one of the hardest elements available. Hard chrome plating is harder than other industrial abrasives and metal coatings. Hard chrome plating measures 68 to 72 HRC, and withstands high pressures. The life of the parts that are covered using hard chrome plating is 5 to 10 times longer than other similar parts.
Depending on the specific application, hard chrome plating can be applied in different thicknesses to meet the needs of the project. used. Hard chrome plating thicknesses between 10 and 500 micrometers provide a hardness of around 68HRC to 69. Thick chrome plating protects machine components from wear during regular operation or under harsh conditions, including exposure to corrosive chemicals. When used to repair damaged or worn components, manufacturers can use higher thicknesses of hard chrome if necessary. It provides very good resistance to wear and to increase the life of components.
Resistance to abrasion, decay and corrosion
Due to its hardness and low friction, hard chrome plating is extremely wear resistant. Hard chrome plating can be used for sliding parts, against metal-to-metal operations, and with rough and abrasive products such as coal, sand, and cement. Even in high mechanical operations, hard chrome plating is resistant to wear for a long time. makes it valuable You can use hard chrome plating with most gases and organic acids to process materials such as fruit, dairy, oil, fuel, molten glass, and glue. Since they can withstand harsh disinfectants and cleaning agents, chrome-plated appliances can be thoroughly cleaned.
