Hard Chrome Electroplating
The word "chrome" is derived from chromium, a naturally occurring metal most frequently as a coating for other metals. Hard chrome plating isn’t as attractive as decorative chrome, but it’s much, much more durable. Benefits include:
- Exceptional hardness and wear resistance
- Very low friction
- Strong adhesion
- Corrosion protection
We also have the in-house expertise to use hard chrome electroplating to help repair worn components. By varying the current levels during the hard chrome electroplating process, Electro-Coatings craftsmen can increase the density of the deposited metals in worn areas on a component. Due to the strength of hard chrome, we can accomplish this without compromising the integrity of the base material or the external coating.
The challenge with hard chrome electroplating is its tendency to develop microscopic cracks that can compromise corrosion resistance. Fortunately, there are ways to compensate for this. The experienced staff at Electro-Coatings has the expertise in metallurgy, manufacturing and chemistry – not to mention access to the latest plating technology – to produce a superior hard chrome electroplating finish to your precise specifications.
