Materials & Advanced Manufacturing Process
Premium Materials for Strength and Longevity
Our chrome plated rods are produced using carefully selected steels such as CK45, 1045, 4140, and ST52.3. These materials are chosen for their tensile strength, machinability, and fatigue resistance—making them ideal for hydraulic cylinder rod manufacturers and hydraulic piston rod suppliers.
Special stainless steel grades like AISI 316L are also available for projects requiring excellent corrosion resistance, such as marine, offshore, or food-grade applications. By offering multiple material options, we ensure flexibility for factories and engineering companies sourcing wholesale chrome plated bars in custom sizes.
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing
Our production process combines grinding, polishing, and precision hard chrome plating. Each chrome plated bar is coated with a dense, uniform chrome layer that improves wear resistance and protects against corrosion. Chrome thickness can be tailored from 20 to 100 microns depending on customer requirements.
For high-load conditions, induction hardening is applied, further increasing hardness and extending fatigue life. This makes our rods exceptionally suitable for use as hydraulic piston rods in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders.
Applications of Chrome Plated Bar & Rod
Heavy Equipment & Construction
Our chrome plated bars are widely used in hydraulic cylinder rods for excavators, loaders, cranes, and bulldozers. The superior wear resistance ensures smooth operation and minimal downtime under heavy loads.
Agricultural Machinery
In tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems, chrome plated hydraulic piston rods provide long-lasting performance in dusty, abrasive, and high-moisture conditions.
Industrial & Mechanical Manufacturing
Factories use chrome plated rods in industrial automation, machine tools, and production equipment where precision and consistency are crucial.
Material Handling
Applications include forklifts, stackers, and conveyors, where wear resistance ensures extended operating life and lower maintenance costs.
Renewable Energy & Offshore
In wind turbines and solar tracking systems, our chrome plated hydraulic rods deliver stable operation in dynamic conditions. Offshore equipment also benefits from stainless-steel grades that withstand seawater exposure.
Food & Paper Processing
Stainless chrome plated bars are popular in hygienic environments such as food processing lines and paper mills, where resistance to corrosion and frequent washing is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can you customize sizes of chrome plated bars?
Yes, we provide diameters from 6mm up to 1200mm and lengths up to 20m. Special tolerances (IT6, IT7, g6, h8) are available for hydraulic cylinder rod manufacturers who require precise fits.
Q2: How do you guarantee straightness and surface quality?
We use laser alignment and advanced grinding techniques to achieve ≤0.05mm/m straightness. Each chrome plated rod is polished and tested for Ra ≤ 0.2 μm.
Q3: What corrosion resistance can I expect?
Our chrome plated bars can withstand salt spray tests for 72h–1000h depending on chrome thickness and material grade. Stainless steel options offer superior marine resistance.
Q4: Are your chrome plated bars compatible with hydraulic cylinders from other factories?
Yes, our rods are produced according to global hydraulic cylinder standards and are compatible with most OEM and aftermarket cylinders.
Q5: Do you offer wholesale supply for factories and suppliers?
Absolutely. We support wholesale chrome plated bar and rod orders with competitive factory pricing, short lead times (2–3 weeks), and flexible minimum order quantities.
