Chrome Plated Rods

S45C Hard Chrome Plated Steel Bar usually used for producing hydraulic cylinder piston rods,It goes through the machining process of cold drawn, peeling,  grinding, polishing, and hard chrome plating, in order to enhance the surface hardness for friction and corrosion resistance; the material will also be easier for further machining, and its precision can achieve international standard.The S45C  chrome plated rods can be application for Join Pen, High-Strength Screw, Bolting, Sliding Bar and Auto Parts.For Plastic Machines parts: Main Rods, Screw Bars and Feeding Bars.Features:
