My old chrome plater told me the chrome used by all the manufacturers on OEM stanchions (Japan, UK, US etc) was all ‘Decorative Chrome’ and not ‘Hard Chrome’ and hence would wear and also be susceptible to stone damage. Hard chrome is just that, hard chrome that is then ground to the correct size. If you were to buy new stanchions chances are they will likely also be decorative chrome.

The Wemoto site describe thiers  as extra heavy duty hard wearing chromefwiw.

I wouldn’t know what “extra heavy duty hard wearing chrome” actually means! I’d favour philpotts or similar.

Id never heard of Hard Chroming until 2020 so it might be using new language, to me it sounded like difficult chrome.lol
