Hard Chrome ID Tubing Source?

Question

Looking for some precision ID, hard chromed tubing.

Anyone have some good sources?

I prefer to keep it in the USA if possible but at this point, I would consider just about anything as our current suppliers are having a hard time keeping up.

Maybe someone here does this kind of stuff?

>>You didn't mention length, diameter or quantity either. But unlessthey're awfully large, these folks can do it. You'd have to ask howthey'd handle the plating. disclosure: they're a customer of mine.

I'll give them a ring.Thank you.If it matters, 2, 4, 6 and 9" in length with IDs ranging from 1.5" to 6" or so...Previous suppler made the tubes in 16' lengths and we had a lcoal lathe shop part them to length.  I would have LOVED to see that hone process...

Make sure you don't overspecify your requirements. They do a lot ofvery fussy work in exotic alloys and will give you exactly what youask for -- and charge you for it.
