High-precision coverage unique to wet plating

Compatibility of mechanical properties of dry coating

For the first time in the world, it has been possible to uniformly disperse and co-deposit nano-diamond (ND) particles on the order of 10 to 100 nm, which has been difficult to obtain evenly co-deposited composite plating.
(Patent No. 5435477)

  • Compositing single particles into Ni-P plating film using our proprietary nanodiamond dispersion technology.
  • Achieves high strength, low friction, and low aggression due to nano-order.

Features

  • Friction coefficient equivalent to DLC in a sliding test environment with poor lubrication
  • 20% less self-wear and 70% less mating material wear compared to TiN and CrN
  • It is difficult to dry-coating (TiN, CrN, etc.), and it is possible to coat evenly with high film thickness accuracy on complicated parts with severe dimensional accuracy, the inside of tubular parts, etc. ⇒ Excellent throwing power.
  • Construction is possible regardless of the material, such as die-casting or plastic.
