What is a Hard Chrome Plating Pipe ?
A Hard Chrome Plating Pipe is a critical component in hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. It features a hollow or solid steel core with a hard chrome-plated surface, refers to a cylindrical structure with a hard chrome layer (typically 25–50μm thick) , ensuring smooth operation, extended service life, and resistance to pitting and abrasion. Common applications include construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and robotics.

CK45 Material: Strength & Durability
CK45 (C45E) hollow piston rods are a top choice for heavy-duty hydraulic systems due to their exceptional properties:
Chemical Composition: Carbon (0.42–0.50%), manganese (0.50–0.80%), and silicon (0.15–0.35%) for balanced strength and machinability.
Mechanical Performance:
Tensile strength: 700–850 MPa.
Hardness: HRC 45–60 after heat treatment.
Applications: Excavators, press machines, and industrial automation systems requiring fatigue resistance and dimensional stability.
Our China factory employs advanced quenching and tempering processes to optimize CK45’s core toughness and surface hardness.
