What is Chrome Plating?

Chrome plating or chromium plating is a electrolytic method of depositing a thing layer of chromium over a metal or plastic object. Chrome plating is mainly used for decorative purpose, giving the substrate an aesthetic look. Chrome plating is less cheaper and alternative to nickel plating in terms of providing decoration. Chrome plated surface provide corrosion resistance, increased surface hardness, easy cleaning of parts, etc.

Deposits can be applied from 0.25 - 1,000 microns thickness for a wide range of applications. The thinner deposits being used to substantially increase the life of components in wear applications or corrosive environments, and the thicker deposits being used for salvage and repair of worn, damaged or mis-machined components. Hard Chrome is classed as a "COLD" process, the operating temperature of 50 - 60°C ensures no detrimental effects to the physical or mechanical properties of the base materials. Hard Chrome can be deposited successfully and advantageously onto most metallic substrate materials.

Where Chrome Plating Use?

Chrome is commonly used in both marine and automotive industries. From Motorcycles to boats, chrome plated fasteners provide a shiny clean look with the corrosion resistance to last when in the elements. Chrome is commonly used as a decorative finish to make any project stand out.

There are two general types of chrome, hard chrome plating and nickel-chrome plating.
Hard chrome plating is for wear resistance, lubricity, oil retention and other wear-related purposes and is almost always applied to items that are made of steel. There are often variations within hard chrome, which are optimised for specific applications.

There is also decorative, or nickel-chrome plating which is exceptionally thin and only used for aesthetic reasons on fasteners – unless it is paired with a nickel undercoating.

Why to use Chrome Plating?

  • High HardnessElectro-deposited Chrome is extremely hard, with typical values of 850 - 1050 HV (63 - 70 HRc), hence the term "Hard" Chrome. This makes it an excellent coating for wear resistant and abrasion resistant applications such as Moulds and Dies, Punches, Bearing and Seal surfaces, and sliding components.
  • Low Coefficient of frictonHard Chrome has a very low coefficient of friction, approx. one half that of Steel. The coefficient against Steel of 0.16 lubricated (0.21 dry), makes it ideally suited for such applications as Bearing and Seal surfaces, and machinery components.
  • Wear ResistanceThe high hardness and low frictional properties of Hard Chrome provide it with extremely good resistance to abrasive and erosive wear, extending the life of components such as Moulds, Dies and Punches etc, up to ten times in most cases.
  • Corrosion ResistanceHard Chrome has an extremely high resistance to atmospheric oxidation, and a good resistance to most oxidising and reducing agents.(with the exception to Chlorides and other Halides), hence its wide-spread use in the Food and Chemical Industries.
  • Sacrificial Wear LayerSince Hard Chrome deposits are readily removed with chemical strippers, without detrimental effect to the base material, the part can be stripped and re-plated repeatedly, when wear shows, without loss or damage to the base part. This is a significant advantage for high wear, high cost parts such as Plastic Moulds and Dies where abrasive filled plastics are used.
  • MachiningHard Chrome deposits can be successfully finished by grinding, linishing or polishing.
