servicesHARD CHROME PLATING

Extremely hard (up to 70 HRC) and corrosion resistant, hard chrome makes for an excellent coating for many industrial metal surfaces subject to wear, including turbine shafts, bed plates, hydraulic cylinder rods, extrusion dies, transmission shafts and much more.

Hard chrome is applied by an electroplating process. The chromic acid solution is electroplated to the desired area of build-up as a current travels between an anode and the part, which acts as the cathode. The chrome atoms are drawn to the part where they are converted from their soluble ionic state to solid chrome metal, resulting in an extremely hard and wear-resistant surface.

Chrome Craft's plating tanks can handle parts with lengths up to 288" and widths up to 72". Parts that require chrome stripping can be accommodated up to 180" in length and 72" in diameter.
