Choose Your hard Chrome Plating Book
The hard chrome plating industry is critical for America’s economy and Her defense. Hard chrome is used in a wide variety of applications encompassing everything from automotive to weapon systems, its even used in space exploration. Literally thousands of part types receive a hard chrome coating to provide the needed wearability, hardness, lubricity and corrosion resistance the chromium deposit provides.
As important as this industry is, there’s very little text available that describes the process in detail. This is because many of those who perfected their techniques prefer keeping them a secret, for obvious competitive reasons.
Surprisingly, some of the methods the ‘old-timers’ relied on have been proven wrong, while they ignore many of the recent technical improvements. The purpose of our books is to provide our industry with worthwhile, relevant and practical information on the hard chrome process from both the practical and the technical standpoints. These books are written in a format that’s easy to read and understand. This includes important information that both the layman and the technician can put to valuable use.
