Q. Dear Reader,

I am interested in an abrasion test for hard chrome plated steel parts. The plating is applied to provide abrasion and wear resistance, and I need a test standard by which I can qualify the plating process in place.

Thank you,

A. The standard test for abrasion resistance is the Taber Abrader. For chromium testing the CS-10 wheel and a 1000 g load is used to measure the wear resistance.

A. The method used may depend if you are certifying to a processing specification, such as the (aerospace) AMS 2438 for thin, dense chrome plating, that specifies abrasion testing per FED-STD-141 Method 6192. This specifies the Taber test and has been obsoleted in favor of the Taber test in ASTM D4060.
