Is hard chrome suitable for the effects of high temperatures?

In general, a hard chromium surface is consistent against static temperature loads up to 400°C, assuming that the component can be heated up slowly. After 400°C static load, a gradual loss of hardness and after 700°C a rapid loss of hardness of the chromium coating occurs. However, many parameters influence temperature resistance and can possibly change it. To some extent, hard chrome coatings are successfully used for temperatures over 1000°C. We will be happy to provide additional details upon request.
