In equipment manufacturing enterprises, tools such as drill bits and knives have become a very expensive accessory, accounting for a large proportion of the company's production costs. Coating technology is an emerging industry developed in the 1970s. It can adopt different coating methods according to different substrates. The surface of the mold is covered with a coating film with ceramic properties, so that the mold has high temperature resistance. Corrosion-resistant performance, which greatly increases the service life of the tool and reduces the cost of equipment manufacturing. At present, coated drill bits and knives have been widely used in equipment manufacturing enterprises in Europe and the United States, but there is no such technology in equipment manufacturing enterprises in our province. The new company, a joint venture between Shenyang Lilin Group and Nisshin Electric Co., Ltd., a joint venture of Sumitomo Electric Co., Ltd., will introduce Nisshin Electric's world-leading vacuum ion coating technology to improve the service life of machining tools and molds.
