Ensure product quality and transportation
Chrome-plated steel is a steel product that uses the production process of electroplating chrome to plate a layer of chrome metal on the surface of the steel. The chrome-plated layer can significantly improve the surface performance of the steel.

Advantages of Chrome-plated Steel Products
- Excellent coating adhesion: The bonding force between the chrome-plated layer and the coating is significantly better than that of tin-plated sheet, and is suitable for high-precision stamping processes (such as DRD cans and glued can manufacturing).
- Excellent heat resistance and stability: Under high-temperature baking conditions, the chrome-plated layer has no discoloration and no performance degradation, ensuring the stability of the material structure.
- Anti-sulfurization corrosion performance: It has good tolerance to sulfides and is suitable for protein-rich food packaging.
- Filamentary corrosion resistance: Chrome-plated steel covered with paint film shows excellent resistance to filamentary corrosion, which significantly extends the service life of packaging containers.
- Alkaline medium corrosion resistance: The chrome-plated layer has outstanding stability in a strong alkaline environment (such as detergent and pigment dispersant packaging).
Chrome-plated Steel Application
- Main applications: Commonly used in spray cans, bottle caps, can tops, twist-off caps, convex caps, easy-pull caps, and shallow punch cans.
- Electronics industry: electrodes, cable belts, electromagnetic screen covers, etc.
- Automotive industry: automotive oil filter, automotive air filter, gasket, door handle, exhaust tail pipe, etc.
- Other applications: gas flow meter internal parts, heat exchangers, kitchen utensils, shelves, etc.
Tin Plated Steel vs. Chrome-Plated Steel
| Item | Tin-plated steel | Chrome-plated steel |
| Process principle | Electroplated metal tin on the surface of steel plate | A metallic chromium layer and a chromium oxide layer are formed on the surface of the steel plate by electroplating |
| Coating thickness | Between 0.38-2.80 g/㎡ | About 10-300 mg/㎡ |
| Surface gloss | Has good gloss and bright surface | The glossiness is relatively low, and the surface is slightly dull. |
| High corrosion resistance | Good, can effectively prevent corrosion of food and other substances | Slightly worse than tinplate |
| Welding performance | Good welding performance | Relatively poor |
| Coating performance | Excellent coating performance, suitable for a variety of printing and coating treatments | General coating performance |
| Cost | Relatively high | Low cost |
Selection suggestions
- In the food packaging industry, if highly acidic foods (such as tomato products, citrus juices) need to be packaged, tin-plated steel will be more suitable due to its excellent corrosion resistance.
- For cost-sensitive non-food packaging (such as spray cans, industrial supply containers); in non-extremely corrosive environments, chrome-plated steel provides sufficient protection while significantly reducing material costs.
