The Hard Chrome Process

A surface built to perform.

From surface preparation to final inspection, each stage is controlled to achieve the required finish and plating performance.

01/04 — Raw Material

Raw Material

Each job begins with inspection and surface preparation.

Precision Ground

Precision grinding prepares the surface and corrects defects before plating.

Mirror Polished

Polishing refines the surface to achieve the required finish before plating.

Hard Chrome Plated

Controlled hard chrome electroplating produces the required plated surface.

Process Flow

Component Assessment→Surface Preparation→Precision Masking→Controlled Hard Chrome Plating→Grinding & Polishing→Final Quality Inspection

Lead time: 3–5 working days, subject to job requirements
