TripleHard® advantage
Cr⁶⁺ hard chrome
Carcinogenic, rising liability, few months coating life
Same or higher hardness without Cr⁶⁺; zero toxic effluent, coating life up to 34 months, no authorization cost
Thermal spray / PVD
High CAPEX, energy-intensive
Significantly lower part cost; retrofit existing electro-plating lines
Other Cr³⁺ chemistries
Not suitable for heavy industry
Superior bath lifetime + self-lubricating micro-crack network, designed for heavy industry

Step 1. Contact us
We review your component and process data and provide a cost-saving estimate. We partner with you to adapt our Cr³⁺ process to your specific application.
Savroc has already conducted coatings on multiple component types — hydraulic rods, engine valves, defense barrels and more. Only when extra field validation is needed, test parts are plated in Kuopio Tech Center, measured for hardness, corrosion and friction, then returned to you for in-field validation.
Step 2. Upgrade & license your line
Most of plants simply convert an existing Cr⁶⁺ tank; when that’s not possible, Savroc supplies a pre-assembled skid that plugs into standard utilities. Secure your process license and scale confidently with minimal downtime.
Step 3. Chemistry supply & lifecycle support
Benefit from recurring Cr³⁺ chemistry deliveries and 24/7 remote analytics – ensuring consistent quality, extended bath life and fast payback.
