Dear all

I would like to have some information on hardchrome surface finishing.
I'm going to make a new piston rod, please advise me :
1. What material do I have to use ( ems-45 DIN 1.1730 or vcn-150 DIN 1.6582 )
2. Do I have to do heat treatment first before hardchroming proses
3 Is there other alternative to make this piston rod and increase its lifetime.
Thank you very much

Best regards,
David

What kind of failures are you experiencing? A lot of factors are to be considered to get max life for your cylinders besides just the rod material i.e. alingment,mounting,rod size too small for the load,fluid contamination. Maytag

I understand why you want to increase the life of a piston rod. I am guessing you mean the kind that goes through a seal in a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
Hard chrome is done after HT. What material have you been using for the rods? Hard chrome stays on better if applied to a satin or fresh machine surface. I would have it done. Specify the thickness and polish or grind it to size. Only plan to remove a few tenths... (.0005") IT will last about as good as anything you can currently obtain. 4140 HT is a good material in many cases. ... and it is already heat treated when you get it to around 38RC.
