TDCflash (Thin Dense Flash Chrome)

Another hard chrome plating application developed to compete with flash chrome is Metalife's TDCflash. TDC Flash chrome is a superior surface treatment to standard flash chrome plating.  The difference is the improved method of surface preparation and the silver satin finish.

TDCflash will maintain our hard chrome hardness of 70-72 Rockwell C and a normal Build up of 0.00005" to 0.0001".
TDCflash has excellent bonding properties, good corrosion resistance, reduced coefficient of friction and excellent wear characteristics making this a very versatile plating.  This process should be considered for any jobs requiring flash chrome plating and when cost is a factor.  

Affects on Basic Metal Strength

The temperature of Metalife's processing solution of 136 degrees F, however the process will withstand temperatures from -400 to 1800 degrees F.  The tensile, yield and fatigue properties of the metal to be plated shall not be significantly affected by the process.  The purity of our hard chrome surface will not be less than 99.4% as deposited and there shall be no hydrogen embrittlement after plating.
