Steel is one of the most widely used metals in the world, but its inherent weaknesses can cause issues for all kinds of businesses and industries. High maintenance costs and vulnerability to rust can be difficult to work around, but you can minimize these disadvantages with appropriate metal plating solutions. Hard Chrome Specialists offers responsive, friendly service and quick turnaround times, as we can apply chrome and electroless nickel plating to your carbon and stainless steel items. Our results will be of high quality and to your specifications.
Plating processes for steel generally follow the same guidelines for other metals. If you're looking for hard chrome plating on steel, we will first plunge your item into a solvent that cleanses the surface of dirt, grease and other imperfections that might affect the chromium's deposition. We can use muriatic acid to deoxidize steel, too. We'll then transfer the item to the chrome bath and allow it to sit for a few moments before connecting electricity. By carefully monitoring the gradual increase of voltage, we can create robust coatings that precisely match your requirements.
