Hardchrome Engineering has a broad range of processes and technologies which are constantly being improved and expanded.
Technologies include:


Hardchrome Hardchrome plating has been the standard for wear resistant coatings for many years. Its hardness (70~72HRc), corrosion resistance, low coefficient of friction and the ability to rebuild has made it the ideal for many industries - Download brochure	Nitrex / Nidtriding Computer controlled nitriding ensuring reproducibility, corrosion resistance, consistent quality , non-brittle white layer, less dimensinal growth and corner chipping. Fast process time, batch reports and confirmance certificate available - Download brochure

Electroless Nickel Uniform coating thickness, high hardness, excellent corrosion resistance and low fractional properties make this coating ideally suited to a wide range of applications. - Download brochure	Nickel / Teflon Hardness of electroless nickel with the lubricity of PTFE. Duplex system to ehance wear and corrosion resistance. Low coefficient of friction extends component life.

Duplex NC A specialised composite coating for high corrosion, high wear environments. Ideal for corrosive hydraulics applications and marine drive shafts.	Sermetel and Alseal Ceramic diffsion coating process with excellent erosion and corrosion resistance. High and low temperature oxidation resistance, anti-fouling and extended component life.

Teflon Spray application process to required thickness on most materials. Tough, durable film for dry lubrication with excellent salt spray resistance.	Neo Chrome HCE introduced internationally proven, technology into Australia in 1987, to provide the Steel and Aluminium rolling industry superior coatings on work rolls to give far higher product quality, greater roll life and less mill down time.

Grinding Linishing and Super Finishing Large in house capacity - Internal - External - Centreless grinding - Fast turn times - Precision tolerances - Mirror finishes to specification - Low Cost production runs and one off availablity.	Dalic Brush Plating Allows for a wide range of metals and alloys to be plated onto almost any substrate material, in an out-of-tank situation. Parts can be plated faster and in manipulators, such as a lathe for internal and external surfaces.

Vacuum Heat Treatment Computer controller vacuum heat treatment providing low distortion, clean oxide free surface and short cycles. Case Hardening, Through Harding, Stress Relieving, Normalising and Annealing with full metalurgical support.	Superfinishing and Microfinishing 3M is applied to the surface of components (such as rolls for plastics industry) where high gloss surface finish (less than 1Ra) is required.

Vacuum Brazing Provides high integrity brazing of precision parts such as scientific and medical components. It is aan environmentally clean process, that also produces clean parts (i.e. no flux residues).	Texturing A wide range of surface textures or roughnesses can be applied to coated or uncoated surfaces, by way of glass bead, abrasive or shot blasting. Finishes can be applied for aesthetics or physical properties such as frictional drag, release of product or retention of lubricants, ink etc.
