How Often Should I Refinish the Chrome on My Equipment?

The longevity of the chrome plating on your equipment fleet largely depends on the conditions and environment you most frequently work in. Most experts recommend chrome refinishing services every couple of decades in many non-wear circumstances, even if you primarily work in harsh conditions. But how often you’ll require rechroming services is commonly determined by:

  • The thickness of the current chrome plating layer.
  • Regular equipment maintenance services with proper, routine care.
  • Quality of the chrome plating materials.

Chrome plating — while providing a clean, attractive finish — is intended to protect your equipment from wear, impact, and corrosion, but if you begin to notice early signs of damage or rust and then you may need chrome refinishing services sooner.

The Many Benefits of Rechroming

Equipment chrome finishes involve a process of using an electrical current to apply a thin layer of metallic chromium on surfaces. When a proper thickness of plating coats the surface of equipment like hydraulic cylinders, pistons, and other mechanical components, it provides durable and dependable protection against excessive wear and tear and corrosion buildup.

Steel and other metal materials are naturally strong and can withstand a fair amount of heavy duty use, so why should you invest in chrome refinishing services? By having the chrome plating on your equipment routinely refinished, you can have better wear and rust resistance for improved equipment performance as well as the following rechroming benefits:

  • Flexibility to apply hard chrome on a range of different materials including stainless steel, brass, and copper.
  • Ability to finish irregular surfaces and shapes like inside holes, tight spaces, and bores.
  • Exceptional long-term protection capacity with little risk of flaking or de-lamination during coating’s lifespan.
  • Low-temperature chrome plating application, causing little damage or effect to the substrate metal surface.

By investing in quality chroming services that prevent corrosion, improves wear resistance, and increases material hardness, you can expect to minimize operating expenses and reduce work site downtime.
