Hard Chrome
Two main types of chrome plating are used in industry today: hard chrome plating and decorative chrome plating. With hard chrome plating, a thick deposit of chromium metal is plated onto steel components to improve surface hardness and wear resistance. Hard chrome plating is often used on tools and dies where increasing tool life through improved wear resistance is important.
Hard Chrome Benefits:
High hardness
Low coefficient of friction
Wear resistance
Sacrificial wear layer

CNC Machining Materials
CNC machining involves the precise removal of material from a workpiece to create intricate shapes and components. Various materials are commonly used in CNC machining, each with its unique properties that cater to specific applications.
Metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium are popular choices due to their durability, machinability, and resistance to corrosion. The selection of materials in CNC machining is critical, considering factors such as hardness, thermal conductivity, and the desired end-use of the product. This diversity in material options allows CNC machining to be a versatile and widely applicable manufacturing process across various industries.
