Chrome plating with excellent performance
According to the application, there are two types of chrome plating: decorative chrome plating and hard chrome plating.
Decorative chrome plating is performed by chrome plating about 0.1 µm on a base such as nickel plating.
The coating is hard, abrasion resistance, scratches resistance, has excellent corrosion resistance, and has chrome particular glossy appearance, so it is often used for automobiles exterior parts and metal fittings for bags.
On the other hand, in hard chrome plating, chrome plating of 1 µm or more is directly applied to materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel. It is used in industrial applications that require abrasion resistance such as machine parts, tools, and molds.
We produce decorative chrome plating (hexavalent and trivalent chromium), and perform chrome plating on glossy nickel plating or soft nickel plating (satin plating) to improve the appearance.
Speaking of chrome, you may imagine toxicity, pollution, and health hazards. However, the chrome-plated product after plating is metallic chrome that is harmless. The treatment liquid used is also detoxified, so it wont cause pollution. (Trivalent chromium is an essential mineral and necessary substance for health.)
Although it is chrome-plated with excellent characteristics, it has disadvantage that it does not easily move depending on the item shape. As shown in the illustrated part, it is difficult to get move in to deep recesses or inside hollow shapes.
This part causes the underlying nickel plating to be exposed and deteriorate the corrosion resistance.
Our company countermeasure:
・Devising jig to enables item orientation change during chrome plating
・ Plating is applied to parts that are difficult to plate by devising how to flow current.
・ Devise of electrodes
And so on.
We are making various efforts to handle products of any shape.
Although it is chrome plating with excellent performance, sometimes it may not possible to attach chrome plating depending on the shape of the product.
We will devise to achieve the quality required by the customer, so please first consult with our sales staff by presenting the drawings and the actual product.
