The Hard Chrome Plating Services
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.
Whether you need precise chrome plating and polishing or require heavy hard chrome of several thousands of an inch, rest assured that we are well-equipped to meet the specialised project needs of our valued clients.
