The chrome plating process is a method of applying a thin layer of chromium onto a substrate (metal or alloy) through an electroplating procedure. Chromium is electroplated onto different metals to provide either a decorative finish or increase the hardness and wear resistance of the base material. In the chrome plating process, we offer several common chrome plating additives. For example, decorative chrome plating additive, hard chrome plating additive and so on. These additives play an important role in the chrome plating process, which mainly stems from the fact that they help to improve the properties of the plating.
There are two main types of chrome plating which one is hard chrome plating often called functional chrome plating or engineering chrome plating. The second type is decorative chrome plating which people often referred to as "nickel plating".
With the help of additives, chrome plating offers many advantages. The main advantages are as follows.
Enhances durability, performance, and resistance to wear and tear.
Adds corrosion resistance and increases strength.
Adheres to a variety of surfaces, shapes, and sizes of components and machinery.
With the aid of additives, chrome plating has been useful in many fields. The main applications are as follows.
Alfa Chemistry supplies chrome plating additives to companies producing electroplating solutions. Depending on your different needs, you can choose from the following chrome plating additives.
1. High coverage power and high cathode efficiency.
2. No need to electrolyze trivalent chrome on-site operation.
3. Low temp, low current density operation, energy saving, and reduced cost.
1. Suitable for hard chrome plating to a black bright surface.
2. Excellent dispersing & deposition power.
3. Stable bath without fluoride/halogen addition.
4. Chromic fog inhibitor addition to improve operating condition & chromic anhydride save.
1. It is an environmentally friendly product, contains no Cr (VI).
2. Excellent dispersing & covering ability.
3. The deposit will not be hazy after long-term store, excellent corrosion resistance.
4. Exhibits higher hardness and wear resistance.
5. Operation is safe, easy waste treatment, cost is low.
1. It is an environmentally friendly chromium fog inhibitor suppressant, which can effectively suppress the chromium mist produced in chrome plating, and its widely used in hard chrome and decorative chrome process.
2. It does not contain fluorine, which will neither cause corrosion to the low current area of the workpiece nor corrode the anode.
3. It overcomes the disadvantage of fluorine containing fog inhibitor which is easy to cause pinholes in the plating layer.
4. It can improve the dispersion ability of chrome plating, and the brightness and hardness of the plating layer can be improved by long time use.
1. Produces an attractive appearance and shows excellent corrosion resistance. It is adapted for decorative plating.
2. Excellent heat-resistant, can be adapted for heat-resistant products.
3. Post-treated by oil, soak, or clear paint can improve the brightness and protect the deposits.
