PNTProcess

PNT plating is the compound electrolysis plating of nickel－silicon carbide improving slide performance of the aluminum alloy drastically.

• Improvement of wear resistance and galling strength for aluminum alloyed steel.
• Composite plating of Ni-SiC + Honing finishing

Process

• PNT plating layer is composed of electro Nickel plating layer (500-600mHv) and SiC (2500mHv) dispersion particles.
• The superior wear resistance and galling strength can be obtained by lubricating oil and combination of fine super hardness SiC ceramic particles and strong plating zone.
• Assurance of higher accuracy of bore by PNT honing. For super extreme use, plateau shape is possible for oil pit.
• On the surface of parts where being high reactive surface by etching as pretreatment and melting reaction, PNT plating layer of a good adhesion can be formed.
• PNT honing is applicable to the wide range from single cylinder engine to multiple cylinder block engine.
• 
• 

PNT plating layer consists of electrolytic Ni plating layer (mHV500-600) and SiC dispersion particles (mHV2500) in the layer

• 

• PNT horning ensures high boar accuracy. The plateau horning reproduces the state just after completion of the shakedown cruise mechanically. The honing, improving the oil holding-ability in oil pit, is applied for the extreme use by the synergy with the tough film of PNT plating.
