Hard chrome plating

steelfor industrial applicationsfor the aerospace industry

Hard chrome plating produces a much thicker coating than decorative chrome plating. Hard chromium, also known as engineering chromium or industrial chromium, is characterized by a special wear resistance to mechanical stress and is therefore used specifically for wear protection of components in a wide range of industrial sectors. Other outstanding properties of hard chrome coatings are tribological advantages such as low adhesion tendency and wettability, resistance to chemical stress and high temperatures as well as corrosion protection at higher layer thicknesses. The optimal fixture for an even layer structure The challenge in hard chrome plating lies in the targeted application of shields and auxiliary anodes to ensure a uniform layer distribution even at higher layer thicknesses. Our fixture construction combines 70 years of experience in anode technology with modern CAD software and 3D printing technology to create the optimum fixture based on the technical drawing. This enables us to coat components with different geometries and inner diameters in a high quality and uniform manner.
