CHROMIUM-PLATED STAINLESS STEEL BARS
  Since the nineties, Valbruna has concentrated part of its production in the sector of chromium-plated stainless steel bars. Owing to over 70 years of production of stainless steel bards experience, Valbruna is today an international leader of chromium-plated stainless steel bars as well.

Comparing with normal stainless steel bars, chromium-plated stainless steel bars are more outstanding in anti-corrosion, wear resistance, application of lubricants and exceptional mechanical proerties. Chormium-plated stainless steel bars can be applied to Marine and off-shore industry, hydraulc and oleodynamic engineering, petrochemistry industry, and etc.
