Specialized Processes : Ni Lube
CSL’s Ni-Lube™ is a unique composite coating
that blends the hardness and corrosion resistance of Nickel-Phosphorus
with the low friction coefficient of Teflon. Submicron particles
of Teflon are co-deposited with an electroless Nickel-Phosphorus
alloy to provide various unique characteristics:
- Low coefficient of friction
- Bulk hardness of up to 50 RC (600
VHN)
- Excellent corrosion resistance that
is not affected by caustic solvents, de-ionized water, or
HCI fumes
- Extremely uniform thickness
- Excellent adhesion to steel or aluminum
- Non-stick, non-galling, and excellent
mold release
- Ideal for a clean room environment
because its low friction and excellent corrosion resistance
do not generate wear or corrosive particulate
- Compatible in high vacuum environments
with minimal outgassing measured at levels up to 10-9 torr
- USDA approval pending for food contact
CSL has created tailor-made varietals of
its Ni-Lube coating to maximize its effectiveness in specific
applications. Ni-Lube has been used in:
- Precision gears, lead screws, and
slides
- Indexing pins, cams, rotary arms,
and solenoids
- Tracks, rollers, chutes, rails, and
heat-sealing jaws used in packaging
- Mold components such as cavities,
inserts, cores and extrusion mandrels
- Valve stems and bodies, actuators,
needle valves, and hydraulic components
- Housings, gear racks and actuator
arms for data storage devices
