Chrome Plated Rod / Chrome plated bar is usually manufactured from cold rolled or hot rolled medium carbon steel round bars, by using high precision centerless grinding and polishing methods and then chrome plated to a min plating thickness of 20 microns (which is 0.0008″). The chrome plating layer provides corrosion resistance and a highly reflective appearance. Chrome plated steel bars are the most common products used as piston rods for hydraulic cylinders in applications operating in standard conditions. Applications for standard conditions are defined as applications working in a non-particular corrosive environment. Chrome plated steel bars are used also to build a pneumatic cylinder with pressures higher than 200 bars. Standard cylinders are used from Agricultural Machinery and Garbage Compactors to Fitness Equipment. We recommend chrome plated steel bars made from C45E steel for all standard piston rods. Production Specifications Our chrome plated bars usually is manufactured upon customers’ specification, and the chrome plated rods meet ASTM A108, A311, and other popular standards.
