No. It is electro-chemical. The underlying mechanism of electro-chemical plating is the immersion of a part or component in a solution where the metal to be plated on is ionically dissolved. By applying an electric current across the immersion tank and the item to be plated, metal ions in the solution come out of solution as metal atoms directly on the item. They have picked up the appropriate number of electrons there to become "un-ionized" and will form the metal coating with which we are familiar. A link is provided below.

Is chrome-moly same as molybdenum?

Chrome-moly refers to a type of steel alloy that contains chromium and molybdenum. Molybdenum is a chemical element that is often used in the production of chrome-moly steel due to its strength and corrosion resistance properties. So chrome-moly contains molybdenum as one of its key components.

What material is used for Engine Piston Rings?

Most are ductile iron or steel alloy. Some low performance replacement rings can be made of grey cast iron, while stainless steel are popular in nascar, pro stock and some high boost turbo competition engines. Moly and chrome are the most popular "coatings" applied to ductile iron rings, others are ceramics and titanium to reduce friction.


Is chrome magnetic?

No, chrome (chromium) is not magnetic. Chrome itself does not have magnetic properties, but it is often used as a protective coating on magnetic materials to prevent corrosion.


Why do magnets stick to stainless revolvers?

This has got to do with the amount of Chrome in the alloy used to make the revolver. With a lot of chrome in the alloy, the bonds between chrome and iron would not allow for magnetic interaction. Most stainless steel is magnetic though if one just applies a strong enough magnetic force. regards.


What specific type of steel is a gun made of?
