When investing in metal products, consumers seek out the highest possible quality, and hard chrome plating achieves just that. Based in Cincinnati, OH, R. A. Heller Co. has developed a reputation as the region’s top machine shop. Whether you’re in need of precision grinding or industrial repair, their skilled professionals are passionate about optimizing all of your metal products.

As one of the many popular services offered by R. A. Heller Co., hard chrome plating transforms the surface of a metal object. Through an electroplating technique, chromium is applied to metal from a chromic acid solution. There are three main types of plating which offer varying degrees of hardness—micro-cracked chromium, porous chromium, and crack-free chromium. R. A. Heller Co will advise you on which hardness level is best suited to your needs. 

Several advantages come with applying hard chrome plating to your metal equipment. The plating substantially lowers the friction point of the metal, making it less prone to wear and immune to most abrasions. Additionally, the increased durability acts as a defense against pressures and stresses, bolstering the lifespan and aesthetic appearance of your products. Since hard chrome plating can be applied to a wide variety of shapes, there is little limit to its possible applications. When the process is done, you can expect a gleaming, elegant shine that makes for an attractive metal object.
