1045 Chrome Plated Bar 75k is commonly used for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications. The process creates a hard case on the bar surface that better supports the chrome plating due to improved impact resistance.  Standard chrome plate thickness is .001'' per side minimum for a minimum 500 hours of corrosion resistance.  Note: .0005'' per side minimum also available with 1,000 hour corrosion resistance on 1045/1050 IHCP bars, links below.     Alro Steel offers chrome-plated bars (75k Yield) and induction hardened chrome-plated (100k Yield IHCP) bars with an increasing range of corrosion resistance as tested against the ASTM B117 neutral salt spray standard. The corrosion resistance is verified utilizing both in-house and certified independent laboratory testing. Alro Steel is your trusted source for premium 1045 induction hardened steel chrome plated bar.
