Advantages and disadvantages of plastic chromium plating

Chrome plating is a general reference to electrochromism plating, there are two kinds of chrome plating, one is decorative chrome, and one is hard chrome. Hard chrome plating is a better way to increase the surface hardness, but it has many advantages and disadvantages, so in many cases is not used.

Advantages

1, the surface finish is good.

2, will not rust, a little rust spot will not have.

3, the original part deformation during the plating process is small.

4, if the size of the part is not in place, you can add a few threads of chromium to reach the size (this is an advantage, but also a disadvantage, so the parts to be chromium-plated are to put a margin).

5, the surface is more beautiful.

Disadvantages

1, the price is high, not only the high cost of the plating but also after the plating is reprocessed.

2, not suitable for the surface of the more complex parts.

3, the thickness is too thin, generally only about 0.05-0.15mm.

Fourth, the surface finish of the parts requires a high degree of finish.
