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.
