Plating has the effect of adding new functions and greater values to the material surface of essential manufactured products. Surface treatment plays an integral role in technologies that ensure corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hardness,electric conductivity, soldering, light reflectivity and other desired properties of precision and high-tech equipment. We propose surface based on our accumulated technologies and know-how. |

・Semi-glossy nickel plating | First plating which utilizes the process of materials such as hairlining and sand blasting |
・Non-glossy nickel plating | Used to increase soldering adhesion and limit light reflection |
・Electroless nickel plating | Plating with phosphoric property for high corrosion resistance |
・Pure Gold plating(24k plating) | Used for contacts and other parts requiring high conductivity |
---|---|
・Au-Ni alloy plating | Decorative gold plating that adds corrosion resistance and hardness |
・Au-fe alloy plating | Gold plating that prevents allergic reactions to nickel |
・Pd-Ni alloy plating | Shining white-gold decorative plating used for exterior parts of watches and writing instruments |
---|---|
・Pure Pd plating | Palladium plating that prevents allergic to nickel |
・Rhodium plating | This beautiful white-gold decorative plating is used for exterior parts of watches as well as writing instruments. Its high reflectivity, hardness and good corrosion resistance make rhodium ideal for the plating of dental mirrors |

Approximately 35% of the staff in our Surface Treatment Department are engineers. Surface-treatment technologies that support high-tech industries must continue to advance in order to accommodate changes in material applications and functions. Accordingly, Yamamoto Manufacturing is committed to the greater process of prototyping, research and development as the means to answer our customers' needs. Drawing on the resources of our Metalworking Department and our close relationships with cooperating factories, we provide a one-stop production service that covers every step from base-material production to surface treatment. Our constant objective is to enhance the efficiency of your cost planning and management.
We are the name to trust for comprehensive quality control and follow-up, and to that effort we apply a variety of analyzers and measuring devices. We can quickly provide you with the necessary documents regarding compliance with the REACH Regulation and RoHS Directive, which are now essential elements of environmentally responsible manufacturing.
