Hard Chrome Plated Rod

Kamal Shaft Pvt. Ltd.

Hard Chrome Plated Rod Supplier

Kamal Shaft Pvt. Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Hard Chrome Plated rods. Hard chrome plated rods, often referred to as chrome plated bars or Chrome Plated Shaft, are essential metal components widely used in industrial applications. These rods are usually crafted from steel or similar metals and are treated through a specialized plating process. This process involves applying a layer of hard chrome to the surface, improving their durability and performance. This technique, commonly known as hard chrome plating or industrial hard chrome plating, makes sure the rods meet the demands of various industries.

Key Information of Hard Chrome Plated Rods

Purpose: The primary purpose of hard chrome plating is to provide enhanced surface properties to the rods, including increased hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and reduced friction.

Process: The hard chrome plating process involves several steps. The rod is first thoroughly cleaned and then submerged in an electrolytic bath containing chromium ions. An electric current is passed through the bath, causing the chromium ions to deposit onto the surface of the rod. This forms a thin layer of hard chromium, which is highly durable and wear-resistant.

Properties: The hard chrome layer is known for its exceptional hardness and low coefficient of friction. It provides protection against abrasion, corrosion, and wear, making it suitable for applications where components are subjected to harsh environments and heavy loads.

Advantages:

Enhanced hardness: The hard chrome layer increases the surface hardness of the rod, extending its lifespan.
Corrosion resistance: The chrome layer acts as a protective barrier against corrosive elements.
Wear resistance: The hard surface resists wear and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Low friction: The low coefficient of friction reduces energy consumption and heat generation.

A hard chrome plated rod is a precision steel rod (CK45/EN8 grade) electroplated with a dense industrial chromium layer, giving surface hardness of HRC 68–72 with excellent wear resistance, low friction and corrosion protection. It is widely used as a hydraulic piston rod, guide rod and cylinder rod in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, presses and industrial automation.
Kamal Shaft manufactures hard chrome plated rods from Ø6 mm to Ø500 mm in custom lengths, in CK45/C45, EN8, EN19, mild steel and stainless steel grades. Concentricity up to 0.003 mm, chrome thickness 10–25 µm and surface finish Ra 0.2–0.4 µm.
Standard hard chrome plating is 10–25 µm thick with a surface hardness of HRC 68–72. This provides high abrasion and corrosion resistance and a smooth, low-friction sealing surface ideal for hydraulic cylinder rods.
They are used across hydraulic cylinder manufacturing, industrial automation, machine tools, plastic moulding, die casting, construction equipment, hydraulic presses and textile machinery — anywhere a hard, wear-resistant, corrosion-protected rod is required.
