ISO 6158 Metallic and Other Inorganic Coatings, Electrodeposited Chromium Coatings for Engineering Purposes

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 6158 standard. ISO 6158 specifies requirements for the electroplating of hexavalent chromium, with or without a primer, on ferrous and non-ferrous metals for engineering purposes.

ISO 6158 Metallic and Other Inorganic Coatings, Electrodeposited Chromium Coatings for Engineering Purposes

The coating designation provides a way to determine the chromium thickness suitable for typical engineering applications.

Electroplated chrome platings are often deposited from hexavalent chromium solutions similar to those used for decorative electroplating. However, engineered chrome finishes are often thicker than decorative ones.

Normal or conventional chrome is the most commonly specified type, but is applied to porous, cracked or specially profiled surfaces and duplex chrome is also applied to obtain oil-retaining or non-adhesive surfaces or to increase corrosion resistance.

Electrodeposited chrome coatings for engineering applications are mostly applied directly to the base metal to increase wear and abrasion resistance, increase frictional resistance, reduce static and kinetic friction, reduce friction and adhesion, increase corrosion resistance, and create reduced size.

For protection against severe corrosion, nickel or other metallic primers can be applied prior to electrodeposition of the chromium, or the corrosion resistance of the chromium plating can be increased, for example, by alloying with molybdenum.
