Hard Chrome Plating Alternatives

There are several viable hard chrome plating alternatives, depending on the application and on whether it is an OEM part or a depot MRO component.

• Thermal sprays – Primary replacement for most OEM and depot repair.  Best performance.  Limited for deep internal diameters and high strain fatigue applications.

• Electro and electroless plates – Good for internals.

• Vacuum coatings – OEM applications only.  Not for rebuild.

• Heat treatments – OEM applications only.  Not for rebuild.

• Laser and weld coatings – Localized repair.
