What makes hard chrome plating such a perfect choice for these applications?
• Hard chrome is extremely hard, measuring 68-72 Rockwell, which means a longer life for your part.
• Hard chrome has the versatility to be used to re-size, restore and repair parts and also build certain types of parts from scratch.
• Hard chrome will protect your parts against corrosion and wear in tough environments.
• Hard chrome is known for its adhesive properties, which are greater than 10,000 psi.
• Hard chrome works well with a variety of base metals, including steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
• Hard chrome is porous, and therefore has excellent lubricating value, making it perfect for hydraulic applications.
