The Benefits Of Hard Chrome Plating

  C hrome plating  is a process of covering or plating an object with a layer of chromium for aesthetic and/or protective purposes. As chromium is a naturally occurring metallic element, chrome plating an object can increase its wear resistance/strength and improve corrosion resistance; it can also alter the object’s appearance, giving it a metallic and often highly polished look. What types of industrial equipment benefit from hard chrome plating? Hydraulic cylinders Automotive components Mining equipment Shafts  and rotors Agricultural Hard chrome plating is often used on commercial or industrial vehicle parts exposed to the weather. It helps the parts of the vehicle resist normal wear and decay that occurs due to constant exposure to the elements.  Additionally, a chrome-plated piece enhances performance, increases durability, and allows equipment to function more smoothly over the longer product life cycle of an industrial or commercial machine. Chrome plated bar...

What is the process of hard chrome plating?

Image
  Hard chrome plating   is a process in which a layer of chromium is applied to a surface to improve corrosion and abrasion resistance, reduce friction, and extend the life of parts used in extreme wear conditions. Hard chrome plating demonstrates excellent hardness and lubricity, and is the premier engineering choice to reduce friction, minimize wear and prevent galling. These characteristics are applicable for critical engineering applications, including: machine tool cutting surfaces, cylinder bores, strut rods, crankshafts and  hydraulic shafts . Hard chrome is also applied to molds because of its low surface energy and resultant release properties. Chem Processing can hard chrome plate steel, aluminum, or copper materials, as well as many exotic alloys. Hydraulic cylinder rods , bearing fits and seal areas frequently get damaged and worn from heavy use. When no longer functional, a part can be hard chrome plated and polished or ground back to OEM Spec. This process c...

Benefits of Hard Chrome Plating

  The success of  hard chrome plating  can be attributed to the many benefits and unique characteristics of the process.  The increased hardness alone would not be sufficient to secure widespread use, as a number of hard materials and hardening processes are available. It is the combination of the improved qualities below that give hard chrome plating such remarkable results. Chrome plated bar is chromium-plated steel product that can be supplied as piston rods in standard  hydraulic cylinder  and pneumatic applications As a professional hard chrome plated bar manufacturer and  supplier, Datong Hydraulic  has been supplying and exporting chrome piston rod for almost 20 years. INCREASED HARDNESS   Electro-deposited chrome is extremely hard, typically 66-70 HRC. Through hard chrome plating, the surface hardness of your component is increased without modifying its properties. CORROSION RESISTANCE Hard chrome has a very high resistance ...

Industrial Benefits of Hard Chrome Plating

Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process that involves applying a layer of chromium to a surface by submerging 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.it also creating a shiny and smooth surface that is easier to clean. For improved wear and corrosion resistance, it’s tough to beat hard chrome plating. The hardness and durability of a chromium metal surface finish means your parts will last longer even under severe mechanical contact and wear situations. A chrome surface also resists corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments or where other plating materials would wear away, exposing the substrate metal to corrosion attack. How Long Does Chrome Plating Last? The longevity of any chrome plating depends on several factors: Surface preparation care and method Choice and qu...
