We stock Induction Hardened Chrome Plated Shafting in both English and Metric sizes. Surface Hardness is (Rc 50-60). . We offer an inventory in 10/12 Ft and 20/24 Ft Random Lengths. Material is AISI 1045/1050 carbon steel. This material is an excellent choice for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Induction Hardened surface offers an additional level of impact protection over just chrome plated only products.
Induction hardened chrome rods are high-strength steel rods with a chrome-plated surface. The induction hardening process involves heating the rod with electromagnetic induction followed by rapid cooling, which increases the surface hardness of the rod while maintaining a softer core. This combination of a hard surface and a resilient core enhances the rod’s durability and resistance to bending and breaking under load. The chrome plating provides additional wear resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring a smooth surface and extended service life. These rods are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, offering excellent performance in harsh environments.
Induction Hardened Chrome Plated Rod
Induction hardening of piston rods in hydraulic cylinders is performed in order to increase the resistance to damage from external impact in applications where there is risk for them. Examples are piston rods for hydraulic cylinders in excavators and loaders and for power-steering cylinders. An additional advantage afforded by induction hardening is improved resistance to inadvertent handling damage during cylinder manufacture.
Specifications of Induction Hardened Chrome Plated Rod
Induction hardening is a form of heat treatment in which a metal part is heated by induction heating and then quenched. The quenched metal undergoes a martensitic transformation, increasing the hardness and brittleness of the part. Induction hardening is used to selectively harden areas of a part or assembly without affecting the properties of the part as a whole.
