Hard Chrome
Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process that deposits chromium from a chromic acid solution. Hard chrome plating is thicker than decorative chrome finishes and is suitable in a wide range of industrial applications due to its strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and other advantageous features.
CR 1350
HARD CHROMIUM PLATING PROCESS
Physical Properties:
CR 1350 : Liquid
Description
CR 1350 is a hard, chrome plating solution with a high cathodic current efficiency and a good throwing power.
The CR 1350 solution has no appreciable corrosive effect upon iron and steel and is, thus, particularly, suitable for the partial plating of intricate or hollow components where complete stopping off is difficult and unplated areas remote from the anodes are exposed to the chromium plating solution.
CR 1350 is fluorides-free. The current efficiency is approximately 25%.
Equipment
For this solution, a tank lined with an approved grade of plastic is recommended. Alternatively, an alloy, lead-lined steel tank fitted with a loose inner lining of reinforced glass or plastic sheet may be used. Heating and cooling facilities should be provided. Exhaust system should also be available.
CR 1380
HARD CHROME PLATING PROCESS
Physical Properties:
CR 1380 : Liquid
Description
Cr 1380 is a hard chrome plating solution with high cathodic current efficiency and a good throwing power specially formulated for the Roto- Gravure industries.
The CR 1380 solution has no appreciable corrosive effect upon iron and steel and is, thus, particularly, suitable for the partial plating of intricate or hollow components where complete stopping off is difficult and unplated areas remote from the anodes are exposed to the chromium plating solution.
