About Project

Chrome plating is a common finishing treatment for CNC machining products. It applies a layer of chromium to the surface by submerging the product into a chromic acid solution. Chrome plating can increase hardness and durability, prevent corrosion and enhance aesthetics.

Solution

• Step 1: The CAD model was examined and transformed into a CNC-compatible format with the software AutoCAD.
• Step 2: A most suitable type of CNC machine was chosen according to the complexity of the product design and the cost of the workpiece.
• Step 3: Certain operations were configured and the G-codes were input on the machine. The workpiece was mounted on the machine as well.
• Step 4: The workpiece got shaped and the holes were drilled automatically. It would be inspected during and after the machining process for quality assurance.
• Step 5: The part was degreased and manually cleaned, and then placed into a preheated chrome plating vat for minutes.
