What Is The Process Of Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Hard Chrome Plating
Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Hard Chrome Plating can increase the hardness and service life of piston rod,In the following part ,we’ll take you through the step-by-step hard chrome plating process to give you a better understanding of hydraulic cylinder repair. Step 1: Inspection In the initial inspection, the rod is assessed to evaluate its condition ahead of the chroming process. Step 2: Grinding & Stripping Electrolytic Stripping: During stripping, the rod is placed in a reverse-electrolysis tank. This process is essentially the opposite of electrolytic plating. Whereas chrome plating applies a positive current to a chrome solution – which adheres chrome molecules to the surface of the steel, reverse electrolysis does the opposite. A negative current is applied to the solution and chrome molecules separate from the surface – thereby stripping the old chrome away. Stone Grinding: The other method to remove old chrome is through grinding with large stone grinding wheels. The rod is
