Process
Our Cylinder Chrome Plating Process
The process for cylinder rod re-chroming is simple and straightforward. We rebuild damaged journals to their original size through a process of grinding, chrome buildup, and grinding once more.
- Rechroming hydraulic cylinder rods involves grinding and chroming during the repair process. Rods are polished or ground undersize, chrome plated oversize, and then reground and/or polished to your specifications. We never skip polishing.
- When necessary, we can hone, chrome, and finish hone according to OEM specifications.
- If the chrome is damaged beyond repair, we can strip the chrome from the part in question before refinishing it.
