OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AFFECTS THE HARD CHROME PLATING COST

Metals that are used in furnitures, motorcycles, cars, steels and others are most suitable to undergo the process of chrome plating. The process starts by removing the old coating which can either be old paint, clear coat or powdered coat. There are certain tasks which can be done to such as removing the old paint, stripping, reverse plating and others. Most of the parts of the object are cleaned thoroughly and afterwards, the chrome plating process then begins with a  nickel layer.

However, nickel seems to very expensive today that is why some manufacturers would opt to use copper as the first layer coating. Afterwards, they would add nickel to make the object ready for the next phase of plating. If they are going to make use of aluminum, it is then another process and usually added with copper, zinc, nickel and as well as chromium.
