Induction hardened chrome plated rods are manufactured from medium to high carbon or alloy steel and treated with high-frequency induction hardening to achieve a surface hardness of HRC 25–32. This process enhances resistance to impact, fatigue, and bending while preserving core toughness. The rods feature a hard chrome-plated surface with high wear and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, and other demanding linear motion applications.
