Induction Hardened Rod

We pride ourselves on the quality of our products, which go through a highly specific production process. Each Chrome Plated Rod we ship has been inspected to meet current industry standards for tolerances.

Induction Hardened Chrome Plated Steel Bars are produced by using advanced techniques on AISI 1045/1050 steel bars, for surface removal, polishing, induction hardening, and then hard chrome plating. The finished product is a superior impact resistant bar ideal for high quality piston rods.
