CK45 SAE 1045 42CrMo4 Cylinder Hard Chrome Plated Rod

Chrome-Plated Rod is a high-strength steel rod coated with a layer of chromium to enhance its surface properties, making it ideal for applications in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The chrome plating provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface, ensuring durability and optimal performance.

Key Features:

Material:

• Typically made from high-quality steel such as CK45, SAE 1045, 42CrMo4,  offering excellent mechanical strength and toughness.

Chrome Plating:

• A uniform layer of hard chromium is electroplated onto the surface to enhance wear resistance, minimize friction, and protect against corrosion.
• Thickness typically ranges from 10 to 30 microns, depending on the application.

Surface Finish:

• Polished to achieve a smooth, mirror-like finish with low surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.2-0.4 μm), ensuring compatibility with seals and reducing wear.

Dimensional Accuracy:

• Manufactured to tight tolerances (e.g., ISO f7 or h6 standards) for precision fit in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

High Load Capacity:

• Designed to withstand high tensile loads, bending forces, and dynamic stresses.

Advantages:

• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments, including marine and industrial settings.
• Wear Resistance: Extends the service life of components by reducing surface wear.
• Low Friction: Ensures smooth operation, improving system efficiency.
• Durability: Withstands high pressures and mechanical stresses.

Applications:

1. Hydraulic Cylinders: Used as piston rods to transfer force within hydraulic systems.
2. Pneumatic Cylinders: Ideal for air-powered machinery requiring lightweight and smooth motion.
3. Industrial Machinery: In applications such as presses, cranes, and lifting equipment.
4. Construction and Mining Equipment: Withstands heavy-duty operations in demanding conditions.
5. Automotive and Marine Systems: Provides durability in vehicle suspensions and marine hydraulics.
