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.

Turnaround time for Armoloy chrome plating depends on many factors, including part size, coating type, and component complexity. Here’s a general breakdown:

• Typical Turnaround Time: Straightforward parts can be coated in as little as 5 business days. More complex components can take 5 to 7 business days or longer, depending on the project’s scope and regulatory requirements.
• Rush Services Available: Expedited processing may be possible for urgent orders, depending on capacity and part complexity.
• Factors That Affect Timing: Larger parts, intricate shapes, and thicker coatings may extend processing time.
• Process Overview: Lead time includes surface preparation, plating, and finishing, each of which impacts the overall completion time.

Check with your local Armoloy provider for the most accurate estimate to discuss your specific project needs.

The cost of chrome plating depends on several factors, including the size of the part, the type of plating, the required thickness, and how quickly you need it completed. While prices can vary, here’s a general idea of what affects the final cost:

• Part Size – Larger parts require more material and processing time, which increases the price.
• Type of Plating – Advanced coatings like Thin Dense Chrome (TDC®) or XADC may cost more than standard chrome plating due to their enhanced properties.
• Coating Thickness – The thicker the coating, the more material is used, which can impact cost.
• Turnaround Time – Rush orders, or expedited processing may come with additional fees.
