Chrome Shafts from Specialty Steel

Chrome shafts offer exceptional impact resistance, minimizing surface damage from abrasion and impact. With a surface hardness of Rc 50 and yield strength of approximately 110,000 PSI, these shafts are ideal for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder applications. Additionally, we provide induction hardened  chrome (I.H.C.P.) and chrome plated only (C.P.O) options. For further details, inquire about our hard chrome plated shafts to meet your specific needs. 

Chrome Shaft Offerings

At Specialty Steel, we provide a range of chrome plated steel and chrome plated stainless options tailored to your industrial requirements. Our products include both chrome plated rods and induction hardened chrome bars that offer superior durability and strength for demanding applications.

Properties and Applications for Chrome Shafts

Chrome plated rods and induction hardened chrome bars are designed for high-impact environments, offering superior surface hardness and resistance to wear and tear. These shafts are essential in pneumatic and hydraulic systems where precision and durability are paramount.

Induction Hardened Chrome Plated (I.H.C.P.) Properties

• Surface Hardness: Rc 50
• Yield Strength: Approximately 110,000 PSI
• Impact Resistance: Enhanced by the induction hardened layer, making it ideal for high-stress environments.

Applications:

• Pneumatic Cylinders: Provides durability and long life in high-pressure systems.
• Hydraulic Cylinders: Ideal for applications requiring strength and resistance to abrasion.

Hardened Chrome Plated Only (C.P.O.) Properties

• Surface Hardness: Rc 58/60
• Machinability: The chrome layer is hard, but the substrate is not hardened, making it easier to machine.

Applications:

• Pneumatic and Hydraulic Applications: Where further machining may be required for customization.
