Sleeves for saw cylinders, coating queey

Revisiting an old project. Sleeving cylinders. I found a shop
that does electro coating of big calibre gun barrels ( small
cannons)
He offered to coat a couple of sleeves for me. But, this time
instead of cast iron I want to see if aluminium sleeves are a
better option. My question is would the gun barrel coating work
on a saw cylinder?
Alternatively I have chromed rings made for MS 460/461. Which
is a better option, aluminium sleeves coated or CI sleeves with
chromed rings?

I know nothing. Just always had them plated by a cylinder shop.

to sleeve a cylinder.

The idea light just flashed now!
Do I really need to insert a sleeve to repair a gouged cylinder
, usual damage from a lock ring flying off or a broken ring ?
What if I were to remove the chrome and get the bore turned so
that it is uniform all around and then get the bore re-chromed?
More chrome yes but lesser headaches.
The question is how do i remove the original chrome smoothly? Do
I need a special metal for that?
This is an untrodden path for me so I would really appreciate
any suggestions.
More because it gives me the potential to possibly repair any
cylinder which is not the case with sleeves
