Special Project Concept Zone

～High-tech, without plating, low-tech～
This is a concept zone where many leading "plating" companies that are leading the surface technology, a fundamental technology that is essential to Japanese industry, will exhibit and you can learn about the "cutting edge of surface treatment technology."

Group Booth (Federation of Electro Plating Industry Association)

At the All Japan Plating Association's "Plating Business Exhibit Booth," businesses from all over Japan that handle a wide variety of products will gather to introduce the cutting edge of the surface treatment technology "plating." "Plating" is a technology that gives functionality, rust prevention, and appearance by applying a metal film to the surface of an object.
They are used in everything from everyday items to electronic devices, industrial machinery, aircraft and space development. Companies with the knowledge and experience to meet your needs. Please feel free to contact us with any technical inquiries!

 

Equipment Works Booth

The Equipment and Materials Engineering booth will have an exhibition themed on SDGs and CN. The three divisions that make up the Equipment and Materials Engineering booth will have panels displaying SDGs entitled "Equipment Division: Productivity Improvement," "Chemical Division: Reduction of Harmful Substances, Energy Reduction, Stripping Technology," and "Environment Division: Achievement of Energy Savings." In addition, the CN booth will have a demonstration of a simple calculation of CO2 emissions and a comparison of CO2 emissions from facilities and equipment.
We also have a space available for Enquire and consultations regarding surface treatment, so please feel free to drop by.

Institute of Science and Technology
Professor
Mr. Naoto Otake

DLC films have characteristics such as high hardness, high wear resistance, and low friction coefficient, and can be synthesized at low temperatures of about 200°C with a flat surface. Therefore, they are beginning to be widely used in electrical and electronic devices (hard disks, video tapes, integrated circuits, etc.), cutting tools (drills, end mills, razors, etc.), molds (optical parts, injection molding, etc.), automotive parts (piston rings, cam-related parts, clutch plates, injectors, etc.), optical parts (lenses, etc.), oxygen barrier films for PET bottles, sanitary equipment (faucets), lenses, windows, decorative items, etc. In particular, DLC films have excellent wear resistance and low friction coefficients due to their high hardness of over 10 GPa (sometimes 9 GPa) among various hard films, and their demand as protective films for automotive and mechanical parts is accelerating. In this presentation, we will focus on DLC, whose applications have been developed ahead of the clarification of its structure, and discuss its classification and standardization as a compass that shows which DLC should be applied to what applications.

14:20～15:05 Research on low-friction technology of DLC film in oil-less environment Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Center
Development Headquarters Functional Chemical Materials Technology Department Process Technology Group
Principal Investigator
Mr. Yuki Tokuda

In recent years, various sliding parts have been required to be oil-free from the viewpoint of environmental burden caused by waste liquid of lubricating oil. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, in particular, show excellent friction characteristics in oil-free environments, and research is being conducted for their adoption in actual products. DLC films are mainly composed of carbon (and hydrogen), and are hard carbon thin films with an amorphous structure in which sp2 and sp3 bonds of carbon are mixed. The film properties of DLC films vary greatly depending on whether or not they contain hydrogen, and in oil-free environments, "hydrogen-containing DLC films" that contain hydrogen are actively used. In this presentation, we will report on the results of an investigation into the effects of pre-heating DLC films, surface texture addition, and the addition of chlorine to the film as methods to further reduce friction of hydrogen-containing DLC films.

Theme Wear test of electrolytic polishing and anodizing of titanium and stainless steel
Date and TimeFriday, February 3, 2023
VenueTokyo Big Sight East Hall 5 Organized by Office
Organized by Surface Finishing Society of Japan, Functionalization Committee for Anodic Oxide Films (ARS Committee)
13:35～14:05 The technology of electrolytic polishing of titanium in industry. Nakano Science Co., Ltd.
Chairman and Representative Director
Mr. Nobuo Nakano

Titanium and titanium alloys are lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible, and are therefore expected to be used in equipment and materials in the chemical and medical industries. For this reason, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for electrolytic polishing to create a smooth and shiny surface even for titanium materials with complex shapes. However, electrolytic polishing of titanium was very difficult due to the oxides on the surface, but this is gradually being resolved in recent years. We will explain the current situation.
