Weights, as measuring tools, are divided into stainless steel weights, chrome plated weights, and cast iron weights due to their different materials. Use different weights for different occasions. Someone asked why chrome plated weights can also rust as steel weights. What is the reason? I have compiled some materials in this area, hoping to be helpful to everyone!

Because the coating has a thickness, if it is corroded or accidentally scratched, it will lose protection and the materials inside will rust
The main material of steel chrome plated weights is 45 steel, and the surface has been polished and electroplated with polishing treatment, which has good corrosion resistance. It is also equipped with a high frequency, chrome plated surface for general working environments, with a smooth surface and high accuracy. The chrome plated surface adheres to the steel surface, forming a thin layer on the surface, making the weight more wear-resistant.
Weight customization
Standard steel chrome plated weights mainly include quenched steel chrome plated weights, quenched steel chrome plated weights, and high-frequency steel chrome plated weights, with a density of 7.85kg/dm3. The chrome plated weights are mainly cylindrical, customizable in shape, with complete specifications, mainly 1g-20kg, M1/M2 grade. Mainly used for printing machinery weighing, fitness equipment, electric tools, anti loading and unloading, and light industry machinery. This weight is non-standard, so there is no packaging box.
In addition, the chromium plating layer has strong passivation ability, relatively stable chemical properties, and is not prone to chemical reactions. Because weights can maintain metallic luster and accurate weight for a long time, they can save costs and increase efficiency for your enterprise.
The above is about the reasons and parts of the rust on chrome plated steel weights, hoping to be helpful to everyone. This is the end of this article's explanation. We will see you again in the next issue for more exciting content. Thank you for your support and trust in us!
