Hard Chrome Plating

Abstract

Hard chrome coating finds extensive application in the industry due to their extreme hardness resistance to heat wear, corrosion and low co-efficient of action. Due to these qualities it is applied excellent on cutting tools, gauges, dies, moulds, piston rods, rollers, textile machinery parts etc. Although the equipment and general principles are similar for decorative and hard chrome processes, the technique of hard chrome deposition is somewhat different from that involved in decorative plating and the thickness and hardness of the metal applied is more than decorative plating.
