Ngokuvamile, i-chromium inezinto zamakhemikhali ezizinzile futhi ayisebenzi ngama-asidi amaningi e-organic, ama-sulfide, noma ama-alkali. Ngakho-ke, i-chromium plating ingavimbela ukugqwala, ithuthukise ukumelana nokugqokwa, futhi isebenze njengesendlalelo esivikelayo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungqimba lwe-chrome lunomkhawulo ophezulu futhi luvame ukusetshenziswa njengezingxenye zokuhlobisa, njengezinsimbi zezimoto, izinto zangaphakathi, izingxenye zokuhlobisa, nezinye izingxenye ezinezidingo zokubukeka.

Inqubo ye-chromium plating ihlanganisa izigaba ezinhlanu eziyisisekelo:
Isigaba sokuqala sinciphisa amafutha. Sebenzisa amakhemikhali ukuze ususe amafutha ezindaweni zensimbi ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi azikho izingxenye ezingaphezulu ezithinta i-electroplating.
Isigaba sesibili ukuhlanza. Ukuhlanza ngokuphelele indawo kusiza ukususa ukungcola nezinsalela, njengezinhlayiya zothuli ezincane.
Esigabeni sesithathu, insimbi engaphansi (enamapulangwe) idinga ukuphathwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ingaphezulu lensimbi libushelelezi ngangokunokwenzeka, ngaleyo ndlela kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukumboza kugcina ubuqotho obuphezulu isikhathi eside. Izindlela ezisetshenziswa kakhulu zihlanganisa i-copper plating, i-nickel plating, bese kuba i-chromium plating.
Esigabeni sesine, insimbi ifakwa esitsheni esiqukethe isixazululo sokwelashwa kwangaphambili futhi sishisiswe kancane kancane kuze kufike ezingeni lokushisa elifanele ukuze kuqalwe ukucwenga kwe-chromium.
Isigaba sesihlanu nesokugcina, inqubo ye-electroplating iyaqala, futhi isisombululo esitsheni siyisixazululo esixubile se-chromium equkethe izinhlanganisela, okuvumela izinhlanganisela ukuthi zigxishwe endaweni yensimbi (ngokusebenzisa ukusabela kwe-electrochemical). Ubukhulu be-coating buncike esikhathini insimbi ehlala ngaso esitsheni.
Izinhlobo ezijwayelekile ze-chromium plating zifaka: i-chromium plating ekhanyayo, i-matte chromium plating, i-chromium plating eqinile, njll.
Uma ilungiselelwe ngokwezindinganiso zamanje zemboni, ukufakwa kwe-chrome kungamelana nokuchayeka isikhathi eside emoyeni. I-metal bumper emotweni iyisibonelo esihle se-electroplating, engasetshenziswa amashumi eminyaka ngokulungiswa okujwayelekile kuphela. Ngokufanayo, ompompi neminye imikhiqizo ene-chrome plated ingaqinisekisa ukubukeka okushelelayo kwesikhathi eside kuyilapho iqinisekisa ukuqina kwesikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke, ukufakwa kwe-chromium nakho kungenye yezinqubo ezisetshenziswa kakhulu zokwelapha indawo yensimbi.
