The plating would have to pass a 180 deg. But regardless of activation, good luck trying to get chrome to make a 180 degree bend est unless the layer is exceedingly thin.
Adhesion is always excellent.
We are a jobshop in Eastern Canada, but work for customers from all over the North America. Can do a free trial for you. We have tried using Puma C-12 at two different vendors and both times the unbond was so bad that you had to duck. You could pull it off with your finger nails. 180 degree bend tests are done all the time in the industry with chrome.
