Chrome Plating

Chrome plating is a part of coating technology that use of electroplating process. Electroplating process itself can use many kind of metal like chrom, copper, nickel, silver or gold. The process of all metal are similar, that is use of DC electric current and using of metal solution. But the differences of all the process generally on the solution uses, concentration uses, current flow, temperature limitation, plating time and many other limitation that difference of each metal coating.

Chromium plating also difference among the result purposes from the current flow, chromium concentration and other chemical additive that is use on each of chromium plating kind. The kind of chromium plating such as; hard chrome, dull chrom, black chrome and bright chrome. Every result goal need different parameter uses that must be followed in order to get the result as the process goal. Small different on the process parameter can resulting a different product or result. So chromium plating process need strict control on the bath concentration, equipment precision and on the method uses. Any small substance contain on chromium bath can result a different kind of product.
