refurbishment of hard chrome plating
refurbishment of hard chrome plating
(OP)
I have been advised that, in order to refurbish a worn hard chrome plating on a component, I will have to completely remove the old plating and re-deposit a new one (i.e. onto base material). Is there any reason why the existing Cr surface cannot be activated and plated onto?

The sequence looks like this:
----
Chromium Oxide - 1 or 2 atoms thick
----
Chromium several atoms thick
----
Nickel
----
Copper

Base Metal
