Chrome Strip
Chrome can be removed from
jobs that required refurbishment by an electro-chemical process. This has many
advantages over mechanical removal.
- May be more cost effective
- In many cases quicker
- Does not damage the
underlying metal
As the underlying metal is
not effected by the process, new chrome deposits may be applied. This has great
benifits for rollers and cylinders that are engraved or embossed, in that the
engraving is not damaged.
Nickel Strip
For thin deposits of electrolytic
nickel, a chemical process can be used to remove the coating. It is an expensive
and slow process and is only recommended for jobs that are of irregular shape
that are not possible to machine.
The normal method of removing
nickel is by turning or grinding. (this does necessitate some underlying metal
to be removed)
