Our expertise in hard chroming enhances wear resistance and corrosion protection, delivering component with exception durability in harsh environment
Hardchroming, also known as hard chrome plating, is a specialized surface engineering process aimed at enhancing the durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of industrial components. At we employ advanced hardchroming techniques to deposit a thick layer of chromium onto various substrates, typically steel or other metals, through an electroplating process.
Our hardchroming process begins with meticulous surface preparation, including thorough cleaning and surface grinding to remove any imperfections or contaminants. This ensures optimal adhesion of the hard chrome layer to the substrate, minimizing the risk of delamination or peeling.
Once prepared, the component undergoes an electroplating process where it is immersed in a chromium plating solution and subjected to an electric current. This causes chromium ions to be deposited onto the surface of the component, gradually building up a dense and durable chromium layer.
The thickness of the hard chrome layer can be tailored to suit specific application requirements, ranging from a few microns to several hundred microns. Thicker coatings offer increased wear resistance and durability, making them ideal for high-stress applications such as hydraulic cylinders, piston rods, and shafts.
After plating, the component may undergo additional finishing processes such as grinding or polishing to achieve the desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Our stringent quality control measures ensure that each hardchromed component meets or exceeds industry standards for hardness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance.
