  • SAE 4140 / 42CrMo

Characteristics of ID honed OD chrome plated tube

ID honed and chrome OD tubes possess several notable characteristics that make them suitable for diverse applications. Some key features include:

  1. Precision Honing: The inner surface of the tube undergoes a honing process, resulting in a smooth and precisely finished bore. This honing enhances the dimensional accuracy, improves surface finish, and ensures uniformity along the entire length of the tube.
  2. Chrome Plating: The outer surface of the tube is coated with a layer of hard chrome through electroplating. This chrome plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and hardness. It also contributes to a visually appealing, mirror-like finish.
  3. High Strength: The choice of materials used, combined with the honing and chrome plating, results in tubes with enhanced strength and durability.
  4. Tight Tolerances: ID honed and chrome OD tubes are manufactured with strict adherence to precise tolerances, ensuring consistent dimensions and reliable performance.

Applications

The ID honed and chrome OD tubes find applications across a wide range of industries and sectors. Some common uses include:

  1. Hydraulic Systems: These tubes are widely employed in hydraulic cylinders and piston rods, where their precision, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential.
  2. Pneumatic Systems: ID honed and chrome OD tubes are utilized in pneumatic cylinders, ensuring smooth operation, reduced friction, and resistance to wear.
  3. Industrial Machinery: They are utilized in various industrial machinery and equipment, such as linear motion systems, machine tools, and conveyors, to facilitate accurate movement and minimize friction.
  4. Automotive Components: The tubes are employed in applications such as shock absorbers, steering columns, and suspension systems, where their strength and surface quality are crucial.
