Hard
Chrome
Hard
chrome is a rugged, durable
plating that resists corrosion and wear. It is applied by using chromic acid through
an electrolytic process. Chromium metal adheres to the product's surface in thicknesses
as small as "ten thousandths" of an inch (.0001).
Hard chrome
offers a wide range of characteristics that no other material on the market possesses:
longer product life, extra strength, hardness, lubricity, durability and corrosion
resistance.
Hard
chromed products have been proven to last up to 10 times longer than non-plated
parts in hostile or high demand production environments. Hydraulics, molds, printing
presses and other OEM equipment use hard chrome to repair, retrofit and extend
equipment life including obsolete machine parts without OEM replacements.
Hard
Chrome Advantages
Improved lubricity
Less friction-causing wear
Reduce cost by extending life of part
Parts hold up better in hostile, abrasive environments
Better wear than harden steel
Better wear than electroless nickel
Restore obsolete parts to OEM specs
