One of our areas of specialty is hydraulic cylinder plating. Hard chrome is especially well-suited to hydraulic applications because it is porous and therefore possesses excellent lubrication value.
We know delivery time is one of the most important aspects of any hard chrome plating job. We take our commitments to our customers very seriously and have structured our business to comply. We run two shifts a day and every one of our employees put our customers first.
Feel free to submit a request for estimate for your industrial chrome plating needs. Tell us what you need, and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.
WHAT IS HARD CHROME PLATING?
Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process in which chromium is deposited from a chromic acid solution. Thickness of hard chrome plating ranges from 20 to 250µm. Various types of hard chrome include micro-cracked chromium, micro-porous chromium, porous chromium and crack free chromium. It is essential that the micro-cracked and porous coatings have a minimum thickness between 80-120µm in order to confer adequate corrosion resistance. Micro-cracked chromium has a Vickers hardness of 800-1000 kg/mm2, while crack-free chromium has Vickers hardness between 425-700 kg/mm2. The formation of micro-porous chromium is achieved by a specialised plating method involving the use of inert suspended particles. Porous chrome plating is developed by etching electrodeposited chromium. These are designed to retain lubricant, for sliding and bearing type applications.
