    \n
  • Wear resistance<\/strong>: Hard chrome plating significantly increases the hardness of the surface, making it more resistant to abrasion and mechanical wear.<\/li>\n
  • Durability:<\/strong> It extends the life of parts by reducing the effects of friction and providing resistance to corrosion.<\/li>\n
  • Reduced friction<\/strong>: Hard chrome surfaces have a low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for applications where movement and wear are critical factors.<\/li>\n
  • Versatility:<\/strong> Hard chrome plating can be applied to a variety of materials, including steels, alloys and some non-ferrous metals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The principle of hard chrome plating<\/h2>\n

    [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”211159″]Hard chrome plating<\/strong> improves the surface characteristics of the base materials, with a thickness defined according to plan specifications.<\/p>\n

    Types of hard chrome plating<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Chrome flash:<\/strong> This type of chrome plating has a thickness between 0.005 and 0.02 mm. It is applied directly to the dimension without requiring mechanical recovery.<\/li>\n
    • Thick chrome<\/strong>: With a thickness greater than 0.02 mm, this type of chrome plating requires grinding after application to achieve the desired dimensions and finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Please note that the group\u2019s companies do not carry out decorative chrome plating. Here are some of the main industrial applications of hard chrome plating:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Automotive industry: Cylinders and pistons, crankshafts, cogwheels and gears.<\/li>\n
      • Aeronautics: Landing gear, hydraulic components, turbine blades.<\/li>\n
      • Oil and gas industry: Drilling equipment, valves and taps, pumps and compressors.<\/li>\n
      • Tool manufacturing: Plastic injection molds. cutting and forming tools, rollers and cylinders.<\/li>\n
      • Textile industry: Rollers and cylinders of textile machines. spinning machine components.<\/li>\n
      • Paper industry: Calender and press rollers, cutting blades.<\/li>\n
      • Food processing industry: Processing machine components, rollers and cylinders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
