Hard chrome electroplating involves applying a layer of chromium to a metal object through electroplating to provide benefits like reducing wear and damage from corrosion while increasing conductivity. The process starts with degreasing and cleaning the metal substrate before electroplating a hard chromium layer that is much more durable and provides superior hardness, lower friction, and improved anti-stick capabilities, making it suitable for applications involving drills, screws, taps and dies.

2. Advantages Hardchrome electroplating
• Plating is where a metal layer is applied to a component, and it offers
a number of benefits that can increase equipment performance
• It reduces wear and damage from corrosion, reduces friction and
increases conductivity, among other things.
• Chrome plating is the process of applying a layer of chromium to a
metal object.
• The first step in the industrial chrome plating process is typically
degreasing and cleaning the surface the chromium will be applied to,
which is known as the substrate.

3. • Hard chrome plating is much more durable through a wide range of
uses and environments
• Superior hardness
• Lower coefficient of friction
• it provides improved anti-stick and release capabilities.
• These items might include drills, extrusion screws, taps and die
