The Hard Chrome Plating Process

Our highly skilled professionals have extensive experience in the intricate chroming process. To clarify, here’s a breakdown of 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.

Why Choose Our Hard Chrome Plating Services?

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Protects components from wear and harsh environments.
  • Enhanced Surface Hardness: Improves the strength and longevity of hydraulic cylinders.
  • Expert Precision: Our skilled team ensures top-quality finishing and polishing.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industrial components.

We offer both precision chroming for fine finishing and heavy-duty hard chrome plating of several thousandths of an inch to meet specialised project needs.
