The use of chrome plated rods in the industry is very strong, and it is currently popular among people. Everyone knows what chrome plated rods are, but do you know what chrome plated rods are and what their functions are?

Chromium is a metal that is silver white with a slight blue tint. It is easily passivated in air and forms a material called a purification film on the surface. The chrome plating layer on the chrome plated rod has the characteristics of high hardness, strong heat resistance, good wear resistance, and chemical stability. And this chromium plating layer can also be soluble in sulfuric acid.

Due to the high reputation of the chrome plating layer in the current market, chrome plated rods coated with this chrome plating layer are also widely used in the electroplating industry. With the development of science and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, a series of new chrome plating processes have been studied in this traditional chrome plating industry to ensure that the chrome plating layer of this chrome plated rod can be widely used in all aspects of our lives, So as to provide convenience for our lives.

Characteristics of chrome plated rods:

1. The potential of chromium is more negative than that of iron. Chromium plating on steel is an anodic protective coating, and chromium itself easily forms an extremely thin passive film in the atmosphere, making it corrosion-resistant.

2. The chromium coating has excellent heat resistance.

3. The advantages of chromium coating are high hardness, good wear resistance, and strong light reflection.

4. Chromium plating has porous properties, so its corrosion resistance to steel is not ideal. Therefore, it is generally recommended to first plating copper, then nickel, and finally a layer of chromium to achieve the purpose of corrosion prevention and decoration.

5. The disadvantage of chromium plating is that it is too hard, brittle, and easy to peel off.
