Phosphating

At Hard Chrome Enterprises (HCE) and Action Plating Corporation, we provide high-quality phosphating services, offering superior corrosion resistance, wear protection, and enhanced adhesion for paints, coatings, and lubricants. Phosphating, also known as phosphate coating, is a critical surface treatment used in aerospace, automotive, firearms, and industrial applications to improve paint bonding, reduce friction, and increase part longevity.

Our precision-engineered phosphating process ensures uniform, high-performance coatings tailored to meet military, aerospace, and industrial specifications. With advanced processing capabilities, we offer both zinc and manganese phosphate coatings, ensuring optimal performance for lubrication, corrosion prevention, and aesthetic enhancement. Whether for firearm components, automotive gears, or industrial machinery, our phosphate coatings provide the durability and reliability your applications demand.

At HCE and Action Plating, we are committed to delivering superior phosphate coatings that meet the most stringent industry standards. Our expertise in precise thickness control, advanced surface preparation, and post-treatment processes ensures that every component we process meets or exceeds performance expectations.
