Nickel-chromium coating on 316 stainless
steel piston cylinders
+++++++
I have bad wear on the internals on my product filler piston
cylinders that are manufactured out of 316 stainless steel, the
piston seals are made of teflon which comes incontact with the
internals of the piston cylinders.
Could I coat the internals of the piston cylinders with Nickel
Chromium to extend my cylinder life?

Hi, Brett. I think hard chrome plating would be more appropriate
than nickel-chrome. The chrome layer in decorative nickel-chrome is
only perhaps a micron thick. Please see if our
Chrome Plating Tutorial is of any
value to you. Good luck.
