HEAVY and ULTRA HEAVY layer chromium plating

Plating treatments

processing

Modercromo specializes in industrial hard chrome plating on bars and pipes, with the ability to create thicker coatings for high-wear applications, aggressive environments, and components subject to high mechanical stress.

In addition to our standard 25 micron chromium, we offer advanced deposition cycles in the following versions:

HEAVY – 50 microns

ULTRA HEAVY – 75 microns

These platings are designed to significantly increase the durability, strength and reliability of components over time.

25 micron

Standard Hard Chromium

The 25 μm coating is the most popular solution for general industrial applications.

Main advantages:

Excellent wear resistance

Good protection against corrosion and oxidation

Reduction of surface friction

Greater smoothness in dynamic systems

Precise dimensional size

Typical applications:
stems for hydraulics, shafts, guides, mechanical components subject to sliding and moderate friction.

50 micron

HEAVY plating treatment

Hard chromium in HEAVY version (50 μm) is indicated for components that operate under more severe conditions than traditional standards.

Why choose 50 microns:

Greater reserve of wear-resistant material

Significant increase in the useful life of the component

Improved resistance to abrasion

Ideal for high loads and intensive work cycles

Possibility of post-chromium plating finishing workings with a wide margin

Recommended applications:
heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, stems for earthmoving machinery, heavy industrial plants, equipment subject to continuous wear.

75 micron

Ultra HEAVY plating treatment

ULTRA HEAVY coating (75 μm) represents a high performance solution for extreme environments and critical components. It is designed for those who need the highest level of surface protection.

Distinguishing features:

Maximum resistance to prolonged wear

High protection against abrasion, rubbing and surface impacts

Increased tolerance to aggressive and contaminated environments

Ideal for components with long maintenance intervals

Perfect for important dimensional recoveries

Application sectors:
machines for quarries and mines, iron and steel plants, industrial presses, large diameter cylinders, applications where machine downtime has very high costs.

Plus

More thickness = more durability

Increasing the thickness of hard chromium means:

Extend the life of the component

Reduce maintenance and replacements

Improving plant reliability

Decrease downtime costs

Thanks to our experience in chrome plating bars and tubes, Moderchromo is able to ensure uniform deposition, thickness control and high-precision surface finishes, even on high-thickness coatings.
