Our team of dedicated professionals possesses an in-depth understanding of the intricate chrome plating process to enhance your hydraulic cylinders’ corrosion resistance and surface hardness. Let us demystify the core elements involved:

  • Cathode: The metal to be plated by another metal.
  • Anode: Oxidation occurs and is the positive polarity contact in an electrolytic cell.
  • Electrolyte: A conducting solution containing metal ions in which the anode and cathode are placed.
  • Power Source: Supplies a direct current to the anode and oxidises the metal atoms, causing them to dissolve in the solution.
