Can Chrome Plating on the Grille Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Chrome plating on the grille cannot be repaired. Most damage is caused by harsh driving conditions, prolonged exposure to rainwater, or high salt content in the air. The purpose of chrome plating on the grille: Decorative use, enhancing the car's color appearance, significantly improving strength, hardness, and wear resistance, but at the same time reducing plasticity and toughness. Chromium can improve the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of steel. The chrome plating on doors and handles serves as anti-scratch protection, making the overall car look more aesthetically pleasing and providing protection for some plastic parts. Installing chrome plating on unpainted handles can also protect the paint surface. Hard chrome plating: The thickness of hard chrome plating is generally 5-50μm, but can be adjusted as needed, sometimes reaching 200-800μm. Steel parts with hard chrome plating do not require an intermediate plating layer. If there are special requirements for corrosion resistance, different intermediate plating layers can be used.
