Hard Chrome Data for Corrosion Resistance

The following table is a general indication of the electroplating resistance of hard chrome to various corrosive agents. The corrosive resistance of hard chrome in actual use is affected by operating factors, such as temperature, concentration, aeration and the presence of other constituents in the corrosive medium. As a result, the electroplating hard chrome data in this table must be considered only an approximation. For critical conditions, it may be preferable to conduct a test in the actual solution in use and under the actual operating conditions.
