Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy is a material with tungsten as the matrix (typically 90%–98% tungsten content), formed by adding nickel, iron, and other elements. Its physical properties stem from the synergistic effect of tungsten’s high hardness and the toughness of the nickel-iron binder phase, which can be optimized by adjusting composition ratios and preparation processes.

Can Chrome Plating on Tungsten Alloy Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance?

Chrome plating on tungsten alloy surfaces can greatly enhance corrosion resistance. This is a common surface engineering technique used to improve durability and decorative appearance.

1. Basic Principle of Chrome Plating

Chrome plating—primarily referring to hard chrome plating—is an electrochemical process that deposits a dense chromium (Cr) layer on the surface of a metal. This chromium layer features:

  • High hardness (HV800~HV1000)
  • Excellent wear resistance and low friction coefficient
  • Good chemical stability and oxidation resistance
