Chemical Surface Treatment After CNC Machining Parts - Chrome Plating

Chrome plating is a specialized electroplating technique that attaches a thin layer of chrome to the surface of metal parts. This enhances their hardness and corrosion resistance. The chrome layer not only makes the parts easier to clean but also improves their aesthetic appeal. Almost all types of metals, including aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, can be treated with chrome plating.

Typically, before a part undergoes chrome plating, it must go through steps such as degreasing, manual cleaning, and pre-treatment. Then, the part is immersed in a chrome plating tank and kept there for a certain period until the chromium layer reaches the desired thickness. Due to the consumption of electricity and the complexity of the procedure, chrome plating is a relatively expensive surface treatment process.
