What is meant by “Thin Dense Chromium Coating”?


Chromium used in thin dense chromium coating process, which is usually very hard chromium. Coating uses the thin dense chromium solution as its base but is infused with a synthetic diamond particulate, which is responsible for the extreme hardness participant. Both coatings, at a microscopic level, provide a nodular finish to complete the entire precision engineering process.


According to the experts, the thickness of thin dense chromium coating has a standard deposit of 0.0001/0.0003” per surface, however, in molding, the 0.000050/0.0002" range is more realistic, giving the tight tolerances according to the industrial standards in a precision engineering company. Unlike other typical hard chrome a thinner deposit of thin dense chromium, there is a thinner deposit of thin dense chromium that will not reduce the efficiency of the coatings, and may prevent too much edge build up.


Both internal and external surfaces on all part configurations can be uniformly processed. As the finishing step for machine parts and manufacturing components, it instructs a micronodular finish. As the surface hardness and surface finish of the base metals improves, the performance of the thin dense chromium coating also improves. In order to maximize the performance of the thin dense chromium coating, components should be engineered to a minimum of 50Rc, 40 pt. carbon steel with a minimum surface finish.



Among different other precision engineering services the thin dense chromium coating process control avoids the occurrence of embrittlement process, though original manufacturing circumstances may not, necessarily, be removable. The process also will not affect the yield or fatigue properties of the original metal.


Thin dense chromium coating also resists attack by most organic and inorganic compounds, with the exception of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Inferior metal surface finish and low part hardness may inhibit thin dense chromium coatings corrosion resistant properties.
