A new coating service for the spare parts and materials coating industry
Nissho Electronics has introduced a new coating service for the spare parts and materials coating industry. Using Nanofilm Technologies International’s patented FCVA (Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc) technology, they are able to coat on mold parts as well as on other materials. A few of the many advantages of using this technology would be that there is no need for high investment and the use of heavy machinery, and the technology can be used on different surfaces with different materials as the coatings.
The FCVA method, as compared to the conventional methods such as PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) produces an end result of 1.5nm thick coating. The coating result is 4 times harder, with twice as much adhesiveness and the friction coefficient of ~ 0.5, and in addition to those qualities, the process is done in low heat, producing products with no thermal stress or deformation, with the added benefits of a denser layer enabling better resistance to wear and tear with lesser occurrence of peeling off and corrosion.
There are four types of additional benefits: 1. Coatings can be done on most metal components and materials. 2. Can be coated directly on the surface of the part or material. 3. The level of transparency can be controlled. 4. Non-conductive. MiCC™ coating can be done on semi conductive surfaces and ta-C ™ can also be coated on molds and machine parts.
Nissho Electronics started to introduce FCVA Technology along with the systems and services in March, 2004. Through this technology and service, it is their wish that they will be able to expand the possibility of the technology into new markets and other applications
