What are the advantages of chromium plating on the roller surface?
The drum is susceptible to wear during operation. In this case, chrome plating on the surface of the drum is a very good choice. The surface of the chromium-plated roller is generally silver-white, and its performance is greatly improved. The main advantages of chromium plating on the specific roller surface are as follows.
1. The advantage of roller chromium plating is that the hardness is greatly improved. In comparison with the same usage scenarios, the hardness of chrome-plated rollers is higher than that of ordinary rollers. At the same time, the hardness of other rollers of the same steel grade is slightly lower than that of chrome-plated rollers after undergoing hardening processes such as carburizing and nitriding. Roller hardness is also related to chromium layer thickness. Usually the hardness of chrome plated rollers is between 55-65 Rockwell hardness.
2. Chromium plating can improve the wear resistance of the roller surface. Due to the high hardness of the chrome-plated roller, the friction coefficient is relatively small, so its surface is less likely to wear, thereby extending the service life of the roller.
3. The corrosion resistance of chrome-plated rollers is very excellent. The chromium layer has good stability in different environments and is not prone to chemical reactions. Therefore, chrome-plated rollers can be used in acid and alkali environments.
4. Maintenance is convenient and quick. If the surface of the chrome-plated roller is damaged, it can be re-chromed and put into use again. This allows for reuse and reduces maintenance costs.
5. Increase the surface aesthetics of the roller. The chrome layer has a very good gloss and is silvery white in color, which greatly improves the appearance of the roller.
