ABOUT HARD CHROME

Heavy-Duty Hard Chrome Plating for Maximum Performance

Hard Chrome Plating is an industrial electroplating process that deposits a thick, extremely hard layer of chromium onto metal surfaces. Unlike decorative chrome, hard chrome is engineered for wear resistance, low friction, and extended service life under extreme conditions.

At AL TANWEER, we apply precision hard chrome coatings with controlled thickness — restoring worn parts, protecting new components, and dramatically improving performance in hydraulic, automotive, and industrial applications.

KEY FEATURES

Why Choose Hard Chrome?

The qualities that make hard chrome plating the preferred choice for demanding industrial applications.

Extreme Hardness

Deposits up to 70 HRC — dramatically harder than standard chrome for heavy wear.

Wear Resistant

Resists abrasion, impact, and sliding wear — extending part life significantly.

Low Friction

Smooth, low-friction surface improves efficiency in hydraulic and moving parts.

Precision Thickness

Controlled coating thickness — ideal for tight tolerance and restoration work.

WHERE IT’S USED

Common Applications

Hard chrome plating is essential across a wide range of industrial and engineering sectors.

Hydraulic Rods

Piston rods and cylinders get extended life with a hard, corrosion-resistant chrome layer.

Automotive Parts

Shock absorbers, struts, and engine components benefit from reduced friction and wear.

Industrial Machinery

Rollers, shafts, and molds last longer with hard chrome’s wear-resistant surface.

Molds & Dies

Extends the life of injection molds, blow molds, and forming dies with a hard surface.

Tooling & Gauges

Precision tools and gauges stay dimensionally stable and wear-resistant for longer.

Marine & Aerospace

Critical components resist corrosion and wear in the most demanding environments.

OUR PROCESS

How We Create Hard Chrome

Every hard chrome job follows a careful 4-step process for a strong, precise, and consistent result.

01

Preparation

Parts are degreased, cleaned, and masked — removing dirt, oil, and old coatings.

02

Chrome Plating

A thick, hard chromium layer is electroplated with precision thickness control.

03

Inspection

Every part is checked for thickness, hardness, and surface finish quality.

04

Finishing

Final polishing or grinding ensures the exact dimensions and finish you need.
