Chrome Plated Material Standard

Chrome Plated Material Standard- PS #CP01

 

Purpose:

The purpose of this standard is to clarify Parker Steel (PS) default product delivery expectations.
 

Scope:

By signing below, the supplier contracts with PS to ensure that the requirements are a part of their internal work order instructions for PS and therefore, delivered material and documentation.
 

Responsibility:

The supplier is accountable to ensure that when processing a Parker Steel purchase order, the specifications outlined below will be the standard provisions.  If PS requires any material type that is not listed, or deviate from the specifics of this standard, it shall be noted in detail on each purchase order line item.

Grade(s): C45/C50 = AISI 1045/1050, 42CrMo4 = AISI/ASTM 4140 QT and select stainless steels.BARS MUST BE FULLY CHROMED TO THE ENDS
