Applications of Industrial Hard Chrome : Automotive : pistons, shock absorbers, power stearing and other parts that see high cycles over long periods of time are hard chrome plated for durability and lubricity. Firearms : interiors of gun barrels are hard chrome plated. Aerospace : landing gear components are hard chrome plated in both OEM and MRO applications. Aluminum piston heads are hard chrome plated to offer optimal performance with minimal weight. Actuator components are hard chrome plated to reduce wear and extend service life. Machine Tools : drills, taps, dies, extrusion screws and rolls are hard chrome plated to extend life and improve performance. Gears : hard chrome plating prevents galling and extends life in low-friction applications. Salvage : hard chrome plating can be used to restore worn parts to their original dimensions or bring mis-machined parts into tolerance. Plastic Molds : hard chrome plating provides anti-stick/release properties for plastic molds across all industries. |
