In the chrome plating process, environmentally harmful hexavalent chromium, lead alloy electrodes, and perfluorosulfonic acid are used; however, Kamiya Riken aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chrome plating process by utilizing low-environmental-impact conductive diamond electrodes as a substitute for lead alloy electrodes. Conductive diamond electrodes have high oxidative power and excellent chemical stability, making them a promising alternative to lead alloy electrodes. Through joint research with local research institutions such as Shizuoka University and other companies, it has been discovered that conductive diamond electrodes can be used as a substitute for lead alloy electrodes, and efforts are currently underway to put this into practical use. [Our Role] ■ In the course of developing this joint research, we evaluated the electrochemical properties of conductive diamond electrodes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Hard silver plating is used for electric vehicle charging contact terminals and other applications due to its excellent wear resistance and high electrical conductivity. With the spread of electric vehicles, the demand for hard silver plating is expected to increase further. To propose suitable plating coatings for the demands of various fields, we are adjusting the plating solution composition. We are producing hard silver plating test pieces with varying hardness and progressing with the evaluation of film thickness and hardness. [Our Role] - Preparation of samples, including the building of the plating bath for test hard silver plating and plating onto test pieces. - Outsourcing Vickers hardness testing and film thickness measurement. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
