MIDA chrome deposits are extremely resistant to wear and tear, and with a minimum hardness of 1000HV are exceptionally tough. Chrome, which is technically called chromium, is a very brittle and hard metal that’s used as a plating to go over other metals. Obtained trough a chrome plating process. It is possible to resize cylindrical parts ensuring an excellent parallelism, so that in many cases no further grinding is necessary. As an alternative with high corrosion resistance we offer CROMEST SCB series. With MIDA ultra rapid chrome plating treatment the time necessary to deposit a set layer of chrome is reduced to 1/10. Hexavalent Chromium J-3 of 456 Toxics Use Reduction Institute Barium chromate Decomposes 0.00034 16o C 4.498 25o C Black-green. The excellent physical-mechanical properties of MIDA plating enable pistons, cylinders, segments, to disperse heat more rapidly and to be better lubricated, so increasing work speed. The thickness is generally more than 20 microns, and the hardness is generally 800900HV. Chrome deposits prolong working life from 6 to 20 times for mechanical parts and allows both newly manufactured rejected pieces and old worn-out ones to be recovered. Advantages and disadvantages of hard chromium plating in steel: 1. The piston rod worked for 2 to 3 years, and at the same time, the chromium plating layer appeared to have corrosion damage.

The plating gives to the metal substrate a substantial hardness, a low wear coefficient, and powerful protection against corrosion and oxidation. Industrial hard chrome roll plating, as well as, roll replating boast high strength and sturdiness, and improves metal surface quality of the rolls. its surface was a milky white chromium plating layer.

Thick-layered chrome plating MIDA process finds its typical field of application on mechanical parts subject to strong sliding or rotating wear.
