The pins shown in the picture were used in a production studio in Los Angeles and needed a bright finish for better visibility. Chrome plating performed on these carbon steel pins adhered to AMS-QQ-C-320B standards for electrodepositing chromium.

The pins were visually inspected for precision coating thicknesses of 0.0001” prior to the delivery. Clear, bright finishes were achieved as the pins were cleaned with double alkaline plus acid solution, for the removal of dust and rust, prior to the plating. Around one hundred pins that weighed about 1 lb were delivered to the customer’s studio within 3 days.
