Hard chrome plated steel rods are designed for use in heavy-duty applications, where strength and longevity are critical. The base material, typically a high-quality steel, is selected for its strength, toughness, and ability to withstand high stress. The steel rod undergoes a rigorous polishing process to create a smooth surface, which is then coated with a layer of chromium through electroplating. This chrome plating significantly increases the rod’s hardness, making it more resistant to wear and tear, and provides an excellent barrier against corrosion and rust. Additionally, the smooth and hard surface of the chrome plating reduces friction, improving the efficiency of equipment and extending the lifespan of both the rod and its seals in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These rods are widely used in various industrial applications, including hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and other mechanical devices requiring precision and durability.
