Hard Chrome Plating by EIC Group

Welcome to EIC Group. We offer the highest quality Hard Chrome Plating with short turnaround time and advanced testing and quality systems to deliver your Hard Chrome Plated job on time and to the highest standards.

Hard chrome is also very useful for undersized and worn parts which require building up. The hard chrome deposit is generally applied directly to the base metal and is many times thicker than bright chromium plating. Hard chrome can deposit a protective coating onto a variety of components. The deposit gives excellent adhesion on a variety of surfaces whether ground, finely turned or highly polished.

A general thickness of 0.13mm (0.005”) is ample for most plating applications, and in many cases thin deposits of 12 to 50 microns (0.0005 to 0.002) are sufficient to give good wear resistance. The maximum deposit of hard chrome for normal purposes is between 0.3mm and 0.4mm (0.012 to 0.015”), greater thicknesses can however be applied if required.
