Hard Chrome Coating | Hard Chrome Process

When it comes to heavy-duty performance and long-lasting protection, Aussie industries don’t cut corners. They choose solutions that work hard—just like them. That’s why hard chrome plating stands out as a go-to finish for parts that cop a flogging in harsh conditions. From mining gear to manufacturing machinery, high-stress components wear down fast without the right surface treatment. That’s where we at Australian Surface Technologies come in. We apply hard chrome plating with precision, giving metal surfaces the durability, corrosion resistance, and smooth finish needed to take on tough jobs. Unlike softer coatings that crack under pressure, hard chrome provides a tough-as-nails barrier that resists wear and tear. It boosts the lifespan of cylinders, rollers, shafts, and more, helping businesses cut down on costly replacements and downtime. Our expert crew uses top-notch techniques to ensure your parts perform better and last longer. We don’t just ...

In industries where machinery and tools face constant friction, heat, and stress, the finish applied to their surfaces can determine how long they last and how well they perform. Among all the surface finishing options available today, hard chrome stands out as the preferred choice for high-wear components used in manufacturing, automotive, mining, and aerospace sectors. What Is Hard Chrome Plating? Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process where a layer of chromium is deposited onto a metal surface. Unlike decorative chrome, which is thin and mainly for aesthetics, hard chrome provides a thick, industrial-grade coating specifically designed for performance. This process gives components a mirror-like surface with superior hardness, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand extreme operating conditions. Key Benefits of Hard Chrome for High-Wear Components Exceptional Wear Resistance One of the primary reasons industries rely on hard chrome is its ability to h...
