At Swanson Industries, we specialise in top-tier hard chrome plating services that enhance the durability and performance of your hydraulic cylinders. Our advanced chroming plating process not only provides outstanding corrosion resistance but also significantly increases surface hardness. With years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and applying industrial hard chrome, we consistently uphold the highest quality standards for various applications.
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.
