The minimum thickness of hard chrome plating typically starts at 0.0002 inches (5 micrometers) but can range up to 0.0005 inches (12.7 micrometers) depending on the application. For more demanding industrial uses, such as those involving high wear and corrosion resistance, the thickness can be greater, ranging from 0.0008 to 0.005 inches (20 to 127 micrometers)
