If not done correctly, chrome plating can lead to issues like poor adhesion, uneven coating, or premature wear. Armoloy’s advanced plating processes and quality control measures help prevent these common problems:
- Poor Adhesion – Some chrome coatings flake or peel due to improper surface prep. Armoloy ensures strong adhesion by using precision cleaning and pre-treatment techniques.
- Uneven Coating – Traditional chrome plating can result in inconsistent thickness. Armoloy’s Thin Dense Chrome (TDC®) provides a uniform, precision coating even on complex parts.
- Premature Wear & Corrosion – Standard chrome plating may not hold up under extreme conditions. Armoloy coatings enhance durability, wear resistance, and corrosion protection.
- Hydrogen Embrittlement – A risk in many plating processes, Armoloy minimizes this issue through specialized treatments to maintain material integrity.
