Hard Chrome Plating is a process whereby a wear resistant layer of chromium is deposited on a substrate surface.With its low coefficient of friction,high hardness,moderate corrosion resistance,the process finds wide applications for prolonging the life of the components,or salvaging worn out parts which would otherwise need to be scrapped.
Hard Chrome is often deposited on sliding parts for the protection of moving components of engines,pumps,compressors..etc. A typical Hard Chrome plant consists of a Chromic Acid based solution in plating vat.The D.C.current is required for the deposition of chromium which is supplied by an AC to DC rectifier.The component to be plated is connected to the negative ,whereas lead anodes are used to complete the circuit.A constant monitoring & pretreatment are required to ensure that the deposited chromium layer is of a satisfactory quality. Post plating operations such as buffing, grinding or superfinsihing are often undertaken,depending upon the field of application of the plated components.
