Hardchrome Plating
Durable, wear‑resistant finish with superior performance
Hard chrome plating is renowned for its exceptional hardness (HV) and outstanding wear resistance. This proven coating has long been used to protect metal parts, extend their service life and create a smooth, low‑friction surface that ensures optimal performance.
Long‑lasting protection and improved wear resistance
Hard chrome provides a cost‑effective solution for demanding applications where wear, corrosion and mechanical stress are critical challenges. Its unique properties reduce maintenance needs and extend service intervals, ultimately lowering operational costs. Hard chrome is widely used in industries such as offshore, hydraulics, machinery and oil & gas. In these industries durability and precision are essential.
Benefits of Hardchrome
​
Hard chrome plating offers a range of key advantages, with its exceptional wear resistance standing out as the most important benefit for demanding applications.
Exceptional Wear Resistance​​
Hard chrome creates an extremely hard surface that protects components from abrasion, friction and heavy use. Which greatly extending their lifespan.​
​
Low Friction Surface
Its naturally smooth finish reduces friction between moving parts, improving efficiency and minimizing heat build‑up.
​
Restore to diameter
Hard chrome can be applied to worn or undersized parts to rebuild precise dimensions, helping to save costly replacements.
​
High Adhesion Strength
The coating bonds securely to the base material, resisting peeling, cracking or flaking even under stress.
​
Versatile Application
Hardchrome is ideal for various components, including rods, drums, and rollers. It also works well with additional finishing or protective coatings, like nickel, to enhance corossion resistance.
