Quick Answer
What buyers should know first.
A clear chrome plated rod RFQ should include base grade, final diameter, length, quantity, chrome requirement, surface expectation, inspection need, and destination.
Route review
Review base grade, heat treatment if required, peeling, straightening, grinding or polishing, plating, inspection, and packing.
RFQ checklist
Send base grade, final diameter, length, quantity, chrome thickness requirement if known, surface expectation, straightness, document need, and destination port.
Common Mistakes

FAQ
Common buyer questions.
What range should buyers confirm?
Confirm finished diameter, length, base grade, plating requirement, surface expectation, and inspection scope.
Can chrome plating be quoted without a drawing?
It may be reviewed from RFQ details, but a drawing or clear specification reduces back-and-forth.
Is chrome plating always required for hydraulic rods?
No. It depends on the rod design, working environment, downstream process, and buyer specification.
