Thin Dense Hard Chrome

Thin-Dense Hard Chrome Plating is a specialized electroplating process that deposits a thinner, denser layer of chromium compared to traditional hard chrome plating. This coating offers exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection while maintaining a precise and uniform thickness. It is widely used in applications where high precision and performance are critical.

Key Features

Superior Hardness: Thin-dense hard chrome plating offers a hardness of approximately 72 HRC (Rockwell Hardness), providing outstanding wear resistance.
Exceptional Wear Resistance: The dense chromium layer significantly reduces friction and wear, enhancing the longevity of components.
Enhanced Corrosion Protection: Provides superior protection against corrosion, particularly in harsh and demanding environments.
Uniform Coating: The thin, dense layer ensures a precise, uniform coating, making it ideal for high-precision applications.
Low Coefficient of Friction: The smooth, hard surface reduces friction, improving the efficiency and performance of moving parts.
Temperature of Deposit: Thin-dense 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.
