AnoHard Cr is Anoplate’s proprietary industrial, hard chrome deposit. AnoHard Cr deposits a micro-cracked, smooth and shiny deposit that is proven to reduce wear, friction, seizing and gall your un-coated components.
AnoHard Cr is typically specified for thicknesses in the range of 0.0002”-0.0006”, but can easily be applied to thicknesses up to 0.100”. For extreme wear applications, it is recommended for deposit thickness greater than 0.001” per surface but may require grinding afterward to get dimensions back to tolerance. It is important to note that hard chrome is not decorative chrome plating.
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION*
AnoHard Cr has fantastic dry-lubrication properties. The coating shows a marked improvement in static and dynamic friction against dissimilar materials.
Coefficient of Friction
| Metal Combination | Static | Dynamic |
| Steel on Steel | 0.30 | 0.20 |
| Chrome on Steel | 0.17 | 0.16 |
