Hard Chrome plating is an electrolytic process utilizing a chromic acid based electrolyte. The component requiring plating becomes the cathode and material which will plated to the surface of object become Anode. The problem on this process usually is difficult to make thick coating plate on the object. To thick chrome plated can make cracked on the surface plating, this because of the coating process too fast or too high electric current flow on the process. Further control on this process please read at: DC current flow control. Hard chrome plating usually applied in tools cutting and working tool surface on the work shop.
Other key control on this purpose is how to control the bath solution, the concentration of chrome III is very important on producing chrome plating. While the availability of chrome VI can disturb the coating process. More detail for this purpose please read on: Chromium VI must be controlled.
