Cylinder finishing repair is the process of removing any surface coating, repairing any imperfections, grinding, re-plating and polishing to its original tolerances and specifications. The process saves money and timed by reusing what you have instead of purchasing new.
Plating Automotive Piston Rods for Long Term Durability
Depending on the application, hard chrome plating or electroless nickel plating adds that special hardening and corrosion resistance automotive piston rods need.
Hard Chrome Plating for Long Cylindrical Components
EN-CHRO Plating’s tanks can handle parts up to 39 ft long with diameters between 3 and 8 in. Accommodates various diameters up to 30 ft long, applying chrome layers from .001″ to .010″ or more at 68-72 RC hardness.
Hard Chrome and Electroless Nickel Plating for Oil and Gas: The Parts That Can’t Afford to Fail
Piston rods go through thousands of cycles per day. Ball valves are constantly exposed to hydrogen sulfide and saltwater.
Hard Chrome Plating and Electroless Nickel Plating for Molds, Dies and Rotary Die Rolls
We find that high volume injection molding that runs abrasive filled resins use hard chrome plating as a solution due to its hardness characteristics while precision tooling with its complex geometry and tight tolerances use the electroless nickel plating.
Steady Growth as Industrial Drives Hard Chrome and Electroless Nickel Plating Demand
chrome and electroless nickel plating demand, expanding across key industrial sectors. For manufacturers and OEMs that depend on corrosion resistant coatings, the data shows a steady growth, especially for those with technical capabilities.
How Electroless Nickel and Hard Chrome Plating Keep Critical Rail Car Components Running
The rail industry operates in some of the most demanding conditions. From extreme weather exposure to the mechanical stress of braking and heavy load-bearing, rail components are expected to perform.
How Hydraulic Cylinder and Piston Rod Repairs Save Operations From Costly Downtime
When a hydraulic cylinder fails mid-operation, everything stops. Industries like mining, construction, and agriculture, that downtime has a price tag most companies can’t afford. The solution isn’t to replace it, instead it is a precise repair process that can return a damaged cylinder or piston rod to full working spec. What is a hydraulic cylinder […]
Electroless Nickel Plating in Food Processing
If you work in food processing, you already know how wash-downs, acidic cleaners, moisture and heat can cause wear and stress on the equipment. Many food processing facilities try to coat the metal, such as stainless steel to extend the life of the equipment. Electroless nickel plating in food processing can help.
EN-CHRO Plating Sets the Standard for Surface Treatment and Cylinder Rod Repair
Surface treatment and cylinder rod repair is part of an important cycle for manufacturers. Manufacturers try to have a cylinder rod working, one on the shelf and one in for repair. But that can’t always work.
