Film Thickness & Tolerances
AnoHard Cr is typically specified for thicknesses in the range of 0.0002”-0.0006”, but can easily be applied to thicknesses up to 0.0100”. For extreme wear applications, it is recommended for deposit thickness greater than 0.001” per surface, but may require grinding afterward to get dimensions back into tolerance.
