Letter 1052

---

Please tell me more about hard chrome plating, for example the ideal current density, voltage, temperature, solution percentages, etc.

I'm starting a hard chrome plant for rollers and plastic molds.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You'll need at least a book or two, not a paragraph or two from the Internet.

You can try Chromium Plating by R. Weiner, or Guffie's book The Handbook of Hard Chromium Plating. As an alternative you might get hold of old issues of Metal Finishing magazine and read what Clarence Peger has to say.

In addition to looking at past issues of Metal Finishing magazine for Clarence Peger's articles about chrome plating, get a copy of Clarence Peger's books about chrome plating.
