SEABEE began it’s Chrome Plating operation in 1978 with 2 chrome plating tanks, 1 grinder, 1 polisher and the desire to be the leader in the Hard Chrome Plating business. Over the next 20+ years SEABEE has grown this business to 28 Chrome Plating tanks, 24 grinders, 15 polishers, and gives SEABEE the capability of supplying hard chrome plated bar and tube material to most major users in the industry.

The Seabee Chrome Operation is committed to investing in satisfying our customers through new technology and continuous improvement. The implementation of a new four (4) head Acme Centerless Belt Grinder in early 2003 is an example of investing in technology that improves quality and performance for our customers.

The Seabee Chrome Operation truly is a customer-focused organization dedicated to providing our customers with the best product, best service at a competitive price.

Standard Materials Tube materials are typically 1026CD DOM or ST52.3. Bar materials are typically 1045 or similar steels. Materials can be customer supplied or "turned, ground and polished", customer supplied as raw with finishing stock, or purchased from our material store. Non-standard materials are available upon special request.
Standard Finishes All materials are polished prior to plating to a specific surface finish to create the optimum conditions for successful plating. The material is finish polished to your final specifications after plating insuring adherence to your dimensions and surface texture requirements.
Quality Assurance In-process inspections are performed throughout the manufacturing process to insure the final quality of the product. Salt spray testing per ASTM B116 is available in-house as well as through independent laboratories.
Other Value Added Services Materials can be induction hardened prior to plating. This increases the parent metal surface hardness to approximately 55 Rockwell "C" to a depth of 0.050". Induction hardening may be done in zones to provide soft areas for further welding or machining. Surface compounds can be applied to the finished material to enhance the corrosion resistance of the product for several applications. Other value-added machining can be quoted upon special request.
