Surface Treatment Specs: decorative_chrome
Electroplating and surface treatment specifications covering thickness ranges, hardness, corrosion resistance (salt spray hours), wear resistance, operating temperature limits, substrate compatibility, applicable standards, and finish appearance. Processes include zinc plating (clear/yellow/black chromate), zinc-nickel, bright electrolytic nickel, electroless nickel (mid/high phosphorus), hard chrome (hexavalent and trivalent), decorative chrome, tin, silver, gold, cadmium, anodizing (Type I/II/III per MIL-A-8625), zinc/manganese phosphate, black oxide, stainless steel passivation, and electropolishing.
