Stripping Chrome-Plated Parts
We have etching, erosion and severe mass loss and are losing the functional dimensions. Is this happening because the nickel is too low and the chlorine is now too harsh against the chrome and other component into the 2101? What would you recommend to strip the chrome without any effect on the duplex stainless surface?
