At Technical Hard Chrome Inc.<\/strong>, we understand that you may have questions about our plating processes, capabilities, and services. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from customers.<\/p>\n

\n

1. How much chrome can you apply to a part?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We can apply chrome coatings ranging from as thin as 0.0001\u201d<\/strong> to approximately 0.040\u201d<\/strong> thick, depending on the specific requirements of your part and application.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Do you provide cylinder repairs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yes, we specialize in cylinder repair services<\/strong> as part of our complete plating solutions. Our process restores surface integrity and performance to extend component life.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Can you strip chrome from parts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yes, we offer chrome stripping services<\/strong>, and other blasting clean up<\/strong> if required, to safely and efficiently remove existing chrome layers without damaging the base material.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Can you plate over other coatings such as black oxide?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No, but we can strip the other coatings so the chrome adheres properly<\/p>\n

\n

5. What are your working hours?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our standard hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM<\/strong>.
However, we can accommodate weekend or overnight plating<\/strong> with prior arrangement to meet urgent deadlines.<\/p>\n

\n

6. What is the size of your plating tank?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our plating tank measures 40\u201d x 40\u201d x 84\u201d deep<\/strong>, allowing us to handle a wide variety of part sizes<\/strong> and custom jobs efficiently.<\/p>\n

\n

7. Do you offer thin-dense chrome plating?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We do not offer thin-dense chrome at this time, but we provide flash chrome plating<\/strong>, typically between 0.0002\u201d \u2013 0.0005\u201d<\/strong> thick, ideal for applications requiring a light, smooth finish.<\/p>\n

\n

8. What is the hardness of your chrome plating?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our hard chrome plating achieves a surface hardness of approximately 65 Rockwell<\/strong>, ensuring excellent wear resistance<\/strong> and durability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

9. How quickly can you turn around plating orders?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We aim for fast turnaround times<\/strong> \u2014 typically a few days<\/strong> for standard jobs.
Smaller orders can often be completed same-day or next-day<\/strong>, while more complex projects involving blasting or additional prep<\/strong> may take longer.<\/p>\n

\n

10. How does the material of a part affect the plating process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The base material<\/strong> determines the required preparation method<\/strong>, such as acid dipping, blasting, or glass beading<\/strong>. Knowing the material in advance ensures the correct process is applied to achieve the best possible result.<\/p>\n
