The spec was for chrome plating, but Ni-P will be a less complex process for this component. In order to get a similar hardness, the Ni-P would need to be heat treated. Initially I was quoted high P level Ni-P, but low P level Ni-P will yield higher hardness. Maybe this hardness will be...
I have a cylindrical shaped part designed. The design criteria is reduced weight, increased wear resistance on the OD, and strength is not a concern. The dimensions of that part are:
OD = 4.764" +/- .005" , .001" cylindricity
ID = 4.302" +.001"/-.000" , .001" total runout to the OD
Length =...
