Chrome-plated brass Chromium-plated brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which is coated with a thin layer of chromium to give it a shiny, silvery appearance.The chromium-plating process involves applying a layer of chromium to the surface of the brass using an electrochemical technique. Chromium offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it an ideal coating for high-quality decorative parts, jewellery and accessories. Chrome-plated brass is often used for door handles, taps, light fittings, cutlery, musical instruments and timepieces. It can be cleaned with a soft cloth and soapy water to maintain its brightness and shine.
