What are the benefits of chrome plating on brass?
Benefits of Chrome Plating for Brass . Chrome plating on brass increases this malleable alloy’s natural durability, giving it impact and corrosion resistance with a shiny, aesthetically pleasing finish. Chromium coats feature a reduced risk of de-lamination, meaning you can expect the plating to hold up over long periods.
What are the cleaning guidelines for chrome plated brass?
CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR CHROME PLATED BRASS Chrome Notes: • You do not polish chrome, you clean it. • Unlike aluminum and stainless steel, chrome does not oxidize much. It is extremely hard and usually very thin (a few mils) plated.
What makes the inside of a brass plate turn brown?
Brass is the luminous alloy of copper and zinc. Long term oxidation of this material will result in first a bronze tarnish, then turn dark brown, and eventually a blue-green patina. Cleaning Materials
Why is nickel plating used on brass bullets?
You’ll often see nickel plating used on brass bullets, as many users prefer the unique look, improved corrosion resistance and quicker reloading. Other applications include items that see increased environmental stress and frequent use, such as automotive parts, gears, heat sinks, screws, battery casings and much more.

How is nickel plating different from chrome plating?
Unlike chrome plating, which utilizes electricity as a driver, our nickel plating uses a chemical reduction. We submerge the item in an aqueous solution that contains an agent, which reduces the nickel ions and encourages deposition. Overall, it produces a smoother coat when compared to electroplating.
