Key Features

Exceptional Hardness: Hard chrome plating offers a hardness of 68-72 HRC (Rockwell Hardness), providing superior wear resistance.

Excellent Wear Resistance: The chromium layer significantly reduces friction and wear, enhancing the longevity of components.

Tooling Longevity: Provides excellent protection against wear in molds and tools, particularly in harsh polymer environments.

Low Coefficient of Friction: The smooth, hard surface of hard chrome plating reduces friction, improving the efficiency and performance of moving parts.

Temperature of Deposit: Hard chrome plating is typically deposited at temperatures ranging from 40°C to 60°C (104°F to 140°F), ensuring minimal thermal stress on the substrate.

Large Deposit Area: Hard chrome plating can be deposited to components, rollers and shafts spanning 22' in length, ensuring even coverage and protection for extremely large pieces.
