The MC 200 additive was specially formulated for the Hard Chrome Plating industry. This liquid additive will enhance the deposit appearance as well as ensure a more controlled plating thickness. This process will give your company a competitive plating advantage while remaining cost effective.

Reasons to use MC 200 :

  • Increased Efficiency
  • Much harder deposits, op to 72 Rockwell C
  • Finer crack pattern increases lubricity
  • Improved corrosion resistance
  • Brighter finish
  • Reduced built up of trees and nodules

Deposit Hardness

Hardness is one of the most important properties of a chromium deposit in industrial applications. A slight increase in hardness of any part will greatly extend its usefull life even under extreme wear conditions. The MC 200 bath will increase the deposits hardness up to 10 points on the Rockwell C scale compared to conventional baths. This increase was determined by tests and confirmed by results of platers using the MC 200 process.

Wearability

The increase in wearability of MC 200 hard chrome is due primarily to the increased hardness and micro strcuture of the MC 200 deposit. The improved surface finish and lack of pitting also accounts for the increased wearability and serviceable life from the use of MC 200.

Micro Crack Structure

The great number of cracks in the MC 200 deposits account for the improved lubricity of MC 200. Also in many cases the cracks from a standard hard chrome bath continue down to the base metal which accounts to poor corrosion resistance. MC 200 cracks are discontinous.

Corrosion Resistance

MC 200 plated parts will far out-perform those plated in conventional baths under outdoor and mildly corrosive atmospheric conditions. This resistance to corrosion is due primarily to the superior crack pattern, density and structure of the MC 200 deposits.
