hard chrome on aluminum?

Additional methods include anodizing, hard anodizing, microplasma arc oxidation (MAO), electroless nickel (EN) plating, aand composite EN plating. Composite EN for wear resistance typically uses SiC or alumina particles although diamond-filled is perhaps best:
Hard coatings on aluminum are mostly used for wear resistance; they fail under heavy loading due to the lower YS, lower modulus aluminum substrate.
