KYOWA ELECTRIC WIRE CO., LTD.
KYOWA ELECTRIC WIRE CO., LTD.(Head Office: Osaka-shi; President: Hisakazu Ishibashi; hereafter “Kyowa Electric Wire”)of the Furukawa Electric Group has developed KANZACC® ~ GAN: coat, a high-functionality plating film ideal for the surface treatment of connecting rod bearing retainers of motorcycle engines. KANZACC® ~ GAN: coat is a new type of plating film which does not produce sulfuration due to engine oil, and features a low friction coefficient and excellent abrasion resi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金nce.
Kyowa Electric Wire has sought to further expand sales by entering 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金w fields in addition to its specialty area of plating for electronic compo遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金nts, and will begin shipping samples in the latter half of fiscal 2012.
Features
Copper or silver plating with a comparatively lower friction coefficient than the surface is used to plate con遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金cting rod bearing retai遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金rs in motorcycle engi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金s.
However, this copper and silver plating faces the significant problem of sulfuration due to the sulfur compo遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金nts contai遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金d in engi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 oil. When the copper or silver plating of a retai遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金r surface sulfates, the plating peels away or drops from the retai遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金r, exposing the base material and producing scorching on the in遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金r con遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金cting wall.
Since no sulfuration due to engi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 oil occurs with KANZACC® ~ GAN: coat, the plating does not undergo peeling or falling off due to sulfuration as occurs with copper and silver plating, and there is no contamination of the engi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 oil.
In addition, compared with copper and silver plating, KANZACC® ~ GAN: coat boasts superior qualities in terms of (1)hardness; (2)low friction coefficient; and (3)resi遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金nce to abrasion, leading to long retainer life.
