Product Description

Advantages of 4140 Chrome Plated Rod Normalized (HRC 15–22)

The 4140 Chrome Plated Rod Normalized (HRC 15–22) offers a range of advantages that make it a preferred choice for hydraulic cylinder manufacturers and engineering contractors:


Superior Mechanical Properties


4140 alloy steel provides higher tensile strength and toughness compared to CK45 or ST52, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.


Enhanced Surface Finish


Chrome plating ensures low friction, high wear resistance, and extended service life in hydraulic systems.


Controlled Hardness


Normalized heat treatment gives a hardness range of HRC 15–22, providing a balance of machinability and durability.


Corrosion Resistance


The chrome surface layer protects against rust and environmental degradation.


Dimensional Accuracy


Precision grinding ensures accurate tolerances for smooth cylinder operation.


Versatility


 Widely applicable in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic systems, lifting machinery, and construction equipment.

Production Process of 4140 Chrome Plated Rod Normalized (HRC 15–22)

The manufacturing of 4140 Chrome Plated Rod Normalized (HRC 15–22) follows strict procedures to guarantee quality and consistency:

  1. Raw Material Selection

    High-grade 4140 alloy steel is carefully sourced.

  2. Peeling and Straightening

    Surface defects are removed, and the rod is straightened to meet alignment standards.

  3. Normalizing Heat Treatment

    The rods are heated and air-cooled to refine the grain structure and achieve uniform hardness (HRC 15–22).

  4. Centerless Grinding

    Achieves precise diameter tolerance and smoothness.

  5. Hard Chrome Plating

    A uniform chrome layer is applied for surface protection and wear resistance.

  6. Polishing and Finishing

    Final polishing enhances the surface roughness to meet hydraulic system requirements.

  7. Inspection and Testing

    Each rod undergoes mechanical, dimensional, and surface quality checks before dispatch.

This process ensures every rod meets the strict demands of engineering projects.
