=== Thin Dense Chrome ===
''Thin dense chrome (TDC)'' differs from decorative chrome.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jordan |date=2022-12-21 |title=Understanding the Thin Dense Chrome Plating Process |url=https://armoloy.com/understanding-the-thin-dense-chrome-plating-process/ |access-date=2024-09-24 |website=The Armoloy Corporation |language=en-US}}</ref> While decorative chrome is applied primarily for aesthetic purposes with thin layers that provide a shiny finish, TDC, such as [[The Armoloy Corporation|Armoloy]], focuses on enhancing surface performance. It delivers wear resistance, corrosion protection, and hardness without adding significant thickness. TDC also avoids the microcracking associated with decorative chrome, making it ideal for industrial applications where durability and friction reduction are necessary. Thin dense chrome is commonly used in precision tools, aerospace, medical, and food processing equipment.
