Also known as industrial chrome plating, it is a representative industrial plating that possesses many excellent mechanical properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and release properties.
Hard chrome plating is a technique known as electroplating, which uses electrical power to reduce metal ions in a solution and form a new coating (chromium metal) on the surface of the material. This allows for functionality to be applied only to the necessary areas, enabling the use of materials with minimal required functions instead of expensive high-performance materials. By applying hard chrome plating to the surface, it is possible to fully utilize the functions while keeping material costs low.
Additionally, because it can be reprocessed, if a product gets scratched, it can be easily repaired by stripping the plating and re-plating. Even if dimensions become smaller due to wear, repairs can be made by adding material through plating.
Otec also develops original chrome plating, including "Tef-Lock," a plating that incorporates Teflon for excellent release properties, and "Cloamore," a plating that increases hardness and achieves crack resistance by adding carbon to the chrome plating.
At the request of customers, it is also possible to process the surface to a super mirror finish or a matte finish. For more details, please contact us.
