HARD CHROME PLATING
Hard Chrome has unique technical functions which provide surface protection to components within several sectors where must operate to the highest quality standards, often required an agreement to severe environments, extreme temperatures and an high friction. It is used for technical applications in the industrial sector that demand compromising conditions.
thickness between 50 and 500 microns can be plated on surfaces rising up to 1000 microns.
Typical thickness (μm) | Wear resistance |
---|---|
2 ≤e≤ 10 | Light, reduces friction |
10 <e ≤30 | Moderate |
30 <e ≤60 | Adhesive wear |
60 <e ≤120 | Severe |
120 <e ≤250 | Severe, erosion and abrasion |
>250 | For repairs |
