Kanigen®
- Coating
- Electroless nickel coat (Ni-P alloy coat)
- Properties
- Uniform coating thickness, strong anti-corrosive properties, high hardness etc.
- Purposes
- Pistons, anchor-pins, power-steering parts etc.
"Kanigen plating" is the product name of our electroless nickel coating (Ni-P alloy coating) and is still used today as the synonym for electroless plating. It is used for a broad range of industrial commodities, the characteristics of which include high uniformity in thickness, high corrosion resistance and high hardness.
KANIFLON® (Licensed from U.S. patent)
- Coating
- Electroless nickel coat with PTFE particle components
- Properties
- Self lubricating, water-shedding etc.
- Purposes
- Clutch parts, shafts, transportation components etc.
KANIFLON® is an electroless nickel coating with submicron PTFE particle components. Its properties are high uniformity in coating thickness, high hardness and in addition to this self-lubricity which is the feature of PTFE. The main application purpose is providing lubrication and prevention of seize, etc. at the sliding area. The content of the PTFE particle can be adjusted according to the usage.
KANIBORON® (Granted U.S. patent and Japanese patent)
- Coating
- Alloy coat consisting of 3 elements Ni (Nickel), P (Phosphorus) and B (Boron)
- Properties
- Heat resistance, impact resistance, high hardness, self-lubricating etc.
- Purposes
- Transportation components, compressors, pistons etc.
KANIBORON® is an alloy coating consisting of 3 elements: Ni (Nickel), P (Phosphorus) and B (Boron). It has a hardness of about Hv700 without the heat treatment and high fracture toughness. It is most suitable for use in sliding parts such as precision components made of aluminum that cannot be heat-treated. Moreover, it has superior qualities in heat resistance and impact resistance.
CERAMICKANIGEN®
- Coating
- Electroless nickel coat with ceramic particle components
- Properties
- Excellent abrasion resistance, heat-resistance, high hardness etc.
- Purposes
- Casings, liners, cylinders etc.
CERAMICKANIGEN® is an electroless nickel coating with submicron ceramic particle (Sic) components. Its properties are firstly excellent abrasion resistance surpassing that of hard chrome, which is derived from the characteristic of ceramics and high uniformity in coating thickness and high hardness. It is most suitable for sliding parts that are prone to becoming intensely worn out such as filing down.
KANIBLACK® (Granted Japanese and U.S. patent)
- Coating
- Black electroless plating
- Properties
- Low reflectiveness, light absorption, heat radiation and etc.
- Purposes
- Optical components, OA device parts etc.
KANIBLACK® is innovative electroless plating. It forms a black coating uniformly by submerging the objects into the plating solution and develops over time. We were the first in the industry to develop this technique. It is ideal for optical components which require low reflectivity of light and is used in NASA satellites. Additionally, KANIBLACK® has been highly acclaimed in the heat radiation purpose of the semiconductor device and the integrated circuit.
KaniHaste® (Pending Japanese patent and working toward practical use)
- Coating
- Alloy coat consisting of 4 elements Ni(Nickel)-Co(Cobalt)-W(Tungsten)-P(Phosphorus)
- Properties
- High hardness when precipitating and high hardness in a hot environment, fracture toughness property, strengthened the sliding quality etc.
- Purposes
- Piston parts etc.
KaniHaste® is our newly developed electroless alloy coating consisting of Ni(Nickel), Co (Cobalt), W(Tungsten) and P(Phosphorus) which combines high hardness in the precipitation (Hv770) and under high temperature (Hv560 at 300℃). The sliding characteristic under the high temperature is strengthened and this characteristic is also valid under non-lubricant condition.
