Hard Chrome Advantages
Chrome Build-ups
For most applications, chrome build-up is any deposit greater than .001" thick. This typically applies to parts with heavy wear that require restoring the OEM dimension(s) specifications. Due to chrome's durability, chrome build-up benefits parts exposed to the most challenging conditions. Mexicali Hard Chrome, an expert in hard chrome plating, can deposit over .060" thickness on most parts if needed.
Flash Chrome
Flash chrome is a deposit less than .001" thick on most parts and has many different applications. It can increase the life of plastic injection molds and their components. In the printing industry, flash chrome is also used for its corrosion-resistant properties on moisture-containing parts. Although it is mainly used for its corrosion-resistant benefits, it slightly increases wear resistance.
