Important Features of Hard Chrome Plating
We at Al Asriah, offer you the best hard chrome plating services, using elements that deliver quality finish and thick layers on heavy-duty materials and more. It used for specializing in re-conditioning of various engineering & highly precision components to their original specification.
How Does It Work?
The process includes applying a thick layer with high resistance to enhance the hardness and life of a material. Hard chrome plating is basically a popular electroplating technique, to obtain a durable finish on industrial and other materials. Firstly, a layer of Nickel is applied and then, a thin layer of Chromium is applied to complete the procedure.
Being one of the known electroplating companies in Sharjah, we make sure you get the expected results with benefits such as:
- Corrosion & Abrasion resistance
- Surface hardness (55 to 65 HRC) / (850 to 1050 Hv)
- Low friction with Para-magnetic properties
- Prevent from oxidation & increase the hardness of materials
- It can be applied to a wide range of metals such as brass, and stainless steel etc.
- Suitable for irregular and complex formation, including bores and hole.

Hard Chrome Plating vs Regular Chrome Plating
This is a question we get a lot, so it is worth addressing upfront.
Regular chrome plating, often called decorative chrome, is applied in a very thin layer. Its main purpose is appearance. You see it on car bumpers, bathroom fixtures, and decorative fittings. It looks great but is not designed to handle industrial stress.
Hard chrome plating is a completely different application. The chromium layer is much thicker and is applied specifically to improve the mechanical performance of a component. It increases surface hardness, reduces friction, resists corrosion, and helps components handle heavy loads and repeated contact without breaking down quickly.
For industrial and engineering use, hard chrome plating is the standard. It is what keeps heavy equipment running longer between repairs.

Our Hard Chrome Plating Process
Step 1: Assessment and Surface Inspection We look at the component carefully, check its dimensions, and note any worn areas, scratches, or surface damage. This tells us how much chrome needs to be built up and whether any pre-grinding is needed first.
Step 2: Surface Cleaning and Preparation The item is cleaned thoroughly to remove all oil, grease, dirt, and old coatings. Any contamination left on the surface at this stage can cause adhesion problems or affect the quality of the finish. We take this step seriously.
Step 3: Nickel Undercoat Application A nickel undercoat is applied before the chrome layer. This improves how well the chrome bonds to the surface and adds an additional layer of corrosion protection underneath.
Step 4: Hard Chrome Electroplating The component goes into the plating tank, where a thick layer of chromium is applied through a controlled electroplating process. The thickness of the chrome deposit is carefully managed based on the requirements of the job.
Step 5: Grinding and Finishing Once the chrome has been applied, the component is ground to the required surface finish and dimensions. This step ensures the part fits and functions correctly when it goes back into service.
Step 6: Final Inspection We measure the finished part, check the surface quality, and confirm the chrome layer meets the required standards before the item is returned to the client.
