新潟メタリコン工業 List of Products and Services

Since its founding, Niigata Metalicon Co., Ltd. has been on a path of technological development in the fields of metal rust prevention, corrosion resistance, and wear-resistant processing. Starting in 1950 as Minato Plating, a comprehensive metal surface treatment company, we ventured into the broader field of metal thermal spraying in 1953, aiming to establish a system that could meet extensive needs. At that time, metal thermal spraying was not yet widespread in the region, and our unique technological development bore fruit, receiving positive feedback from local users. In 1961, we reorganized and changed our name to Niigata Metalicon Co., Ltd. This served as a turning point for us to enhance our internal organization as a company, expand our facilities, and transform into a modern corporate structure. We have continuously kept pace with the rapidly changing waves of technological innovation, actively acquiring new technologies up to the present day. We have also formed technical partnerships with leading companies such as Dow Corning and Kanizen in Japan, and we have ventured into new fields, including electroless nickel plating. Niigata Metalicon Co., Ltd. aims to advance with the social mission of providing advanced technology to the region. For more details, please contact us or download our catalog.

• Processing Contract

It is a type of electric spray coating that generates an arc discharge (electric spark) between two metal wires, using the discharge energy to melt the wires. The wires are fed in accordance with the melting rate, and compressed air is used to atomize the molten metal, which is then continuously sprayed onto the substrate to form a film. Compared to flame spraying methods, it has a higher spraying capacity (amount of coating per unit time) and excellent adhesion to the substrate due to the spraying material being sufficiently melted at high temperatures. The power supply for the arc spraying device can be alternating current, but direct current is used for stability of the arc. Since the wires act as electrodes, the spraying materials are limited to electrically conductive materials.

It is a thermal spraying method that forms a high-temperature, high-speed plasma jet in a gas such as argon through a high-current direct current arc discharge, and performs melting and acceleration by introducing powdery thermal spray materials into this plasma jet to create a coating. Due to the extremely high energy density of the plasma jet, temperatures exceeding 10,000°C can be achieved, allowing for the thermal spraying of most materials, including high-melting-point metals, cermets, and ceramics. Additionally, since the temperature of the plasma jet can be selected based on the generation conditions, there is a high degree of freedom in material selection, and it has characteristics such as high adhesion between the substrate and the thermal spray coating.
