raw Chromium is about 2.5(+/-) times the weight of aluminum

however, chrome plating is barely thicker than a sheet of paper

@wildbill83 Thinner than a sheet a paper. Aircraft specs are .003 to .005 inches. paper is about .007.

@Bashful varies by application

@wildbill83 This is true and if I'm doing the math and timing the process is going to be wrong. Especially rotary flap peening. That's hocus pocus.
