Chrome plating
If you need chrome plating of your hydraulic cylinders, pump shafts, industrial components, printing press rollers, pins, bushings and other components, Komatsu offers quality services and quick turnaround. Our team, based in Tucson, Arizona, can chrome plate your vital parts, giving your equipment new life at a fraction of the cost of new parts.
Komatsu also provides auxiliary services, including weld repairs, underplating before chrome (to fill gouges or build up undersized areas), stripping of old chrome via reverse etching/electroplating, masking of critical areas, passivation (for stainless parts) and final polishing. The goal is to return worn parts “better than new” in terms of surface quality and longevity.
