Chrome-Plated Bars are produced from medium carbon cold-finished or hot-rolled steel such as 1045/1050 grades. The bars are centerless ground, inspected, polished, inspected again and chrome plated to desired thickness. To protect the chrome-plated surface the bars are packaged in fiber-tube containers or boxes.

These bars are induction hardened to give a hard case on the surface of the bar for support to the chrome plating. This process helps to minimize surface damage to the chrome from abrasion and/or impact.
