Nickel-hardchrome Plating
Strength, protection and precision in one coating
Nickel-Chrome (Ni/Cr) plating is valued for its unique combination of exceptional hardness, outstanding wear resistance and superior corrosion protection. By layering nickel beneath a hard chrome finish, this advanced coating extends the lifespan of critical components. It also safeguards against harsh environments and provides a smooth, low-friction surface that enhances performance in even the most demanding applications.
Combining the best of two different layers
Nickel-Chrome (Ni/Cr) plating brings together the corrosion resistance of nickel and the extreme hardness of chrome, delivering a coating that is both tough and long-lasting. This dual-layer system is engineered for components exposed to heavy mechanical stress, friction and corrosive conditions. It offers a durable barrier, reduces downtime and makes Ni/Cr an ideal choice for industries where reliability and extended service life are non‑negotiable.
Benefits of Nickel-hardchrome
​
Nickel-Chrome offers excellent wear and corrosion resistance by combining the best properties of both layers in a durable dual coating.
Dual-Layer Strength
Ni/Cr plating combines nickel’s corrosion resistance with hard chrome’s extreme durability, creating a coating fit for heavy loads and tough conditions.​
​
Superior Corrosion Protection
The non-porous nickel layer acts as a solid barrier, protecting the base material from corrosion. Even in harsh or humid environments.
​
Exceptional Wear Resistance
The hard chrome surface greatly reduces wear and friction due to its high hardness (HV), extending part life and reducing maintenance.
​
Precision Repair & Restoration
Ni/Cr plating rebuilds worn or undersized components, saving costs by avoiding replacements.
​
Trusted Industry Solution
Nickel-Chrome plating has been used for decades across many industries due to its proven durability and reliable protection. Its consistent performance makes it a preferred choice for critical parts exposed to wear and corrosion.
