Chrome Plating

Additional Details

Chrome plating in a decorative nickel-chrome system provides a tarnish resistant,pleasing bluish, brilliant, clear deposit on nickel plating. The deposit is hard and therefore resistant to abrasion and wear. Due to these properties, a very thin coating of 0.25 to 0.8 microns of chrome provides a durable and attractive finish. Thick hard chrome deposits are employed where good surface hardness, abrasion, wear resistance and anti-seize properties are desired. Hard Chromium is widely used for gauges, cutting tools, metal forming, drawing dies, machine parts such as piston rings, cylinder liners, crank shafts for marine and aeroplane engines, bearings hydraulic gears, salvage of worn and defective machinery parts, moulds and printing rollers.
