what is chrome plated tube?

 Chrome plated tube,mainly used to build hydraulic cylinders. The chrome surface is giving good wear and corrosion resistance.

Chrome plated steel tubes have good durability and help diminishing friction. It has been proven that chrome plated steel tubes can be used as piston rods in order to have a lighter hydraulic cylinder.

Chrome plate tubes are known as chrome plate hollow bars also, they are made of cold drawn seamless tubes or hollowed bars, by grinding and precision polishing on the outside diameter and then chrome plated to a certain thickness on the OD. So they also called chrome plated OD tubing.

The surface requirement of Chrome plate tubing

Our factory can produce chrome plated tube with O.D surface roughness below Ra 0.4 microns.

The chrome plated layer thickness usually can be 20 microns to 30 microns according to clients’ requirements.

Surface Hardness – Chrome Layer hardness is a minimum of 900 HV.

Induction hardened Chrome plated Steel tubes are also available. Induction hardening is a form of heat treatment in which the chrome plated steel tube is heated by induction heating and then quenched. This heat treatment is increasing the hardness and brittleness of the chrome plated tube.

Application of 4140 chrome bar

Image
4140 is a 1% Chromium - Molybdenum high tensile steel supplied in the hardened and tempered, cold drawn or turned, precision ground, polished, chrome plated and final polished condition, with a typical base metal tensile strength of 850 - 1000 Mpa, plus a typical hard chrome plated surface hardness of HV 1000 - 1150.Characterised by an extremely smooth surface finish with excellent wear and corrosion resistance, coupled with a base material giving high strength and good impact properties, plus good machinability. 4140 hard chrome plated bar is used extensively by the hydraulic and pneumatic industries, and is employed by other industry sectors for a wide range of applications requiring higher strength. Typical applications are: Agricultural Equipment, Hydraulic Cylinders , Hoists, Jacks and other Lifting equipment, Machine Tools, Mining and Earth Moving Equipment, Pumps, Valves, Waste Disposal Transport and Equipment etc. Anbao Hydraulic is a professional manufacturer in

The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing

  Chrome plated od tubing is also known as chrome plated hollow bar ,chrome plated tubing a very important part for producing hydraulic piston rods and roller shafts in various machines. The biggest advantage of chrome plated od tubing than normal chrome plated rod is that the unit weight is light, people can greatly reduce the weight of the hydraulic piston rod, when design the hydraulic cylinders . The Production Process Of Chrome Plated OD Tubing Step 1. Get the steel tubes heat treated as per customers’ request. Step 2. Cutting the raw material hollow rod into lengths Step 3. Straightening the hollow rods Step 4. Peeling on the steel hollow rods Step 5. Straightenning Step 6. Grinding the steel hollow rods Step 7. Straightening the ground hollow bars. Step 8. The second grinding process Step 9. Polishing on outer diameter surface Step 10. Chrome plating Step 11. Final polishing Step 12. Final inspection Anbao Hydrualic is a professional  chrome plated ID tubing and hollow bar m
