Services
Industrial Plating Company provides hard chrome plating, an industrial surface treatment that applies a hardened chromium coating to metal parts to improve their performance and durability. The company describes its work as machinable rather than decorative plating, primarily supporting machine shops and industrial production.
Key properties and applications of the company’s hard chrome plating include:
- Hardness measuring approximately 65 to 70 on the Rockwell C scale, providing wear and abrasion resistance described as superior to hardened tool steel
- Corrosion protection for metal components
- Repair of score marks and worn surfaces
- Restoring damaged hydraulic cylinder rods by grinding undersized, then plating back to original specifications
- Correcting manufacturing errors where shafts have been ground too small
- Protecting punch and die edges from rapid wear
- Reducing wear on production rollers and similar components
- Adding lubricity to improve mold release
Coating thickness is offered across a wide range, from a minimal flash coating of about 0.0001 inch up to substantial buildups exceeding 0.040 inch, depending on the application. The company emphasizes competitive delivery times and quality finished products, and it positions itself as a job shop suited to small quantities and short production runs.
