Hard Chrome Plating for Work Rolls and Calender Rolls

Neo Industries has decades of experience in hard chrome plating for rolling mill and calendering applications. Throughout this time, we have continuously developed our plating technology to combine consistent quality, process efficiency, and reduced environmental impact.

Hard chrome plating is not a decorative finish. It is a functional engineering coating that protects the roll surface against wear, corrosion, and demanding production conditions. The deposited chrome layer creates a hard and durable working surface, helping the roll retain its geometry and performance for longer.

In practical terms, the chrome layer acts as a renewable protective shield. Instead of allowing the expensive roll body itself to wear, the chrome absorbs the effects of production. Once the layer reaches the end of its service life, the roll can be refurbished and chrome plated again, extending its usable life and reducing the need for costly replacement.

Successful roll plating requires precise control of surface preparation, coating thickness, uniformity, adhesion, and masking. Even small variations in the chrome layer can influence the final roll geometry and its performance in production.

Neo combines specialized plating equipment, experienced operators, controlled processes, and precision inspection to produce a uniform and reliable chrome layer according to the customer's specifications.
