Hard Chrome plating for 200 degree application

I want to do a chrome plating on a plastic moulding machine's punch & die.See it runs on 200 Degree temp. What's the process by which we can get the heat resistance up to 200 deg.?

Please answer.

Any properly applied hard chrome will stand up to either 200 F or C. What is not said is the environment that it works in. High temp and free chlorides or chlorine will aggressively attack chrome plating. You also have not stated what your problem is or what you expect it to do, only I have a problem and someone tell me how to fix this unspecified problem.
