We have successfully achieved high corrosion resistance that significantly exceeds 24 hours in the Cass test through the hybridization (composite) of plating films and inorganic materials!

Hybrid chrome is a technology that enhances the functional properties of chrome plating by hybridizing (compositing) chrome plating films with inorganic materials. Our company has successfully achieved corrosion resistance that significantly exceeds 24 hours in the Cass test through hybridization with glassy materials. By sealing the micro-cracks, which are a weakness of chrome plating, corrosion resistance has been greatly improved, and at the same time, it also prevents the intrusion of foreign substances into the cracks.

Achieve maintenance of lubricity and improved load-bearing capacity and durability with micro-crack plating + PTFE!

We have a product called "Tef-Lock," which is our original plating that incorporates PTFE into hard chrome plating. This is a composite surface treatment that combines the high hardness and wear resistance of chrome plating with the low friction and lubrication properties of PTFE. However, in high-load environments where chrome plating may wear away, it has been difficult to maintain low friction and lubrication. However, we have developed "Tef-Lock Fine" by impregnating PTFE into our original Cro-Fine (high-hardness micro-crack chrome plating) coating, which solves these issues. 【Features】 ■ Hardness increased compared to conventional Tef-Lock (HV850 → HV900) ■ Increased crack density and higher PTFE content compared to conventional Tef-Lock ■ Maintains low friction under high loads and exhibits excellent wear resistance *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Are you having trouble with cracks in the plating transferring onto the mirror-finished rolls for film molding? It can be improved with crack-free plating.

Hard chrome plating has excellent hardness with a hardness value of HV750 to 900, but it has the issue of cracks (fine fissures) in the coating, which means that no matter how much the surface is polished to a mirror finish, the cracks can transfer to the product. Our company has long had the technology for a non-crack chrome plating called "Cloamore." The hardness can reach up to HV1800 through heat treatment at temperatures between 200°C and 600°C, and due to being crack-free, it has excellent corrosion resistance. However, since the coating can only be applied as a thin film with a thickness of up to 5μ, it has not been applicable to mirror surface rolls until now. However, we have developed a "Super Mirror Crack-Free Roll" that solves these problems by forming a special two-layer structure. 【Features and Effects】 ■ Achieves a super mirror crack-free surface with a roughness of Ry0.05 or less. ■ Since Cloamore is on the outermost layer, it has a hardness of about HV1200, which is approximately 1.5 times that of hard chrome plating, making it less prone to scratches due to its excellent wear resistance. ■ Being crack-free enhances corrosion resistance and reduces resin accumulation on the roll surface. It is also expected to improve anti-fouling properties and non-contamination effects. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Further improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of hard chrome plating with micro-crack plating!

Typically, hard chrome plating is performed using a bath made of anhydrous chromic acid and sulfuric acid, referred to as a "Sargent bath," dissolved in water. Its hardness ranges from HV750 to 900, which is quite excellent, but even so, under harsh usage conditions, wear of the plating is unavoidable. Additionally, the cracks (fine fissures) present in the hard chrome plating layer can expand when heat is applied, which can be problematic depending on the application. However, our company has developed "CRO-FINE," which solves these issues by improving the components of the plating bath. 【Features】 ■ Hardness is excellent at HV950 to 1000 ■ Compared to typical hard chrome plating, the extent of crack expansion due to heating is smaller ■ Although there are many cracks, they are narrow and shallow, resulting in minimal penetration to the substrate and excellent corrosion resistance ■ Not only is it excellent in wear resistance, but it also reduces the wear amount of the opposing material *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly creating sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or variations in dimensions, can be created in a single molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
