Default Heat effects on Chrome

I have a couple of questions regarding how much heat chrome can withstand before it starts to discolor (blue) or burn completly off. Also, does "hard" chrome have a higher tolorance for heat than "deocorative" chrome?

About what temp does each type of chrome begin to discolor and peel?

Also, Is there any difference in the appearance of "hard" vs. "decorative"?

If you were going to chrome a brake disk on a motorcycle should you use hard chrome or would decorative work? I have the complete plating manual, but I didn't see any of this addressed in there.

Thanks.......
