Heavy machinery relies on both hard chrome and electroless nickel plating from premature wear that causes downtime and production loss. Even though both of these finishes protect the substrate metal, each has an area of expertise.
Hard Chrome Plating vs Thermal Spray Alternatives in Industrial Manufacturing
Hard chrome plating deposits electrochemically bonded chromium onto a metal substrate for the purpose of protection. For repair applications and internal bore geometries, it is a faster and lower cost option than thermal spray alternatives.
