Chrome Oxide Coating

Chrome Oxide coating, also known as chromium oxide, is a ceramic-like protective layer applied to metal surfaces to enhance their durability and resistance to harsh environments. It’s particularly effective in applications that involve high friction, abrasion, or exposure to corrosive substances. This coating is ideal for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery, where the longevity and reliability of components are critical.

Our In-House Furnace technology is integral to delivering superior Chrome Oxide coatings. Here’s a detailed overview of our coating process:

Thorough Surface Preparation: We begin with an extensive cleaning process to ensure a proper bond between the base material and the Chrome Oxide layer. This may involve sandblasting, chemical cleaning, or polishing to eliminate any surface contaminants, rust, or oxidation. Proper preparation is essential for achieving optimal adhesion and performance.

Pre-Coating Inspection: Each component is meticulously inspected to identify any defects or irregularities. This allows us to tailor our approach to meet specific coating needs and ensures that only high-quality parts enter the coating phase.

Chrome Oxide Application: The prepared parts are placed in our advanced furnace, where they undergo a specialized deposition process. Using techniques like thermal spraying or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), we apply a precise layer of Chrome Oxide. This process ensures uniform coverage and allows for customization of the coating thickness, typically ranging from 10 to 200 microns, depending on the application requirements.

Controlled Curing: After application, the coated parts are subjected to a controlled curing process in our furnace. This step is crucial for enhancing the density and hardness of the Chrome Oxide layer, ensuring maximum wear resistance and durability.

Post-Coating Treatments: To further improve the properties of the Chrome Oxide coating, we may apply additional treatments, such as polishing or sealing. These treatments can enhance the surface finish and provide additional protection against environmental factors.

Rigorous Quality Control: We conduct comprehensive quality checks on all coated parts. This includes measuring coating thickness, assessing surface finish, and conducting adhesion tests to ensure compliance with industry standards. Only parts that meet our stringent criteria are approved for delivery.
