In precision engineering industry unlike traditional hard chrome, a thinner deposit of Diamond Chromium and Thin Dense Chromium Coatings do not hinder the coatings’ efficiency, and may prevent excessive edge build. In addition, the hardness of the substrate metal is not an issue; the harder the base metal, the more effective the coatings become. Even in the case of copper alloys, where hardness cannot be dramatically improved, corrosion resistant coatings can provide protection against abrasive wear, without reducing the copper’s thermal diffusion properties, making it an excellent coating solution for copper tubing.

Purposes of High-durability coatings:

• They provide wear and abrasion resistance.
• They provide lubricity, release, and friction reduction.
• They provide corrosion resistance even in severe environmental conditions.

Protective coatings will provide coating solutions that maintain corrosion resistance for many possible precision engineering services and applications. Thin Dense Chromium coatings provide a standard plating thickness of 0.0001/0.0003″ per surface while in molding, the 0.000050/0.0002″ range is more realistic, given the rigid tolerances that are the industry standard so they won’t hinder with the working of industrial equipment. In the food industry, gear wear resistant coatings can provide an excellent solution for machinery faults due to corrosion.

Coatings will extend the life and improve the efficiency of rubber and plastic parts. Surface hardness is increased Diamond Chromium coatings.

Wear resistant coatings can greatly reduce or even eliminate the problems associated with abrasion wear and corrosion that can impact your needs. Diamond Chromium and Thin Dense Chromium Coatings can:

• Reduce downtime associated with parts replacement
• Lower equipment maintenance costs
• Enhance durability and extend equipment life
• And above all improve efficiency and save money!

Precision engineering companies are of the view that Titanium, zinc, and magnesium are not suitable for coatings.

Electroless nickel plating is a chemical reduction process which depends upon the catalytic reduction process of nickel ions in an aqueous solution and the subsequent deposition of nickel metal without the use of electrical energy. Due to its exceptional resistance towards corrosion and hardness, the process finds wide application on items in precision engineering industry such as valves, pump parts etc, to enhance the life of components exposed to severe conditions of service, particularly in the oil field and marine sector. With correct pretreatment sequence and accurate process control, good linkage and excellent service performance can be obtained from EN deposited on a massive amount of metallic and non-metallic substrates.

In electroless Nickel plating method, the driving force for the reduction of nickel metal ions and their deposition is supplied by a chemical reducing agent in solution. This driving potential is essentially constant at all points of the surface of the component, provided the agitation is sufficient to make sure a uniform concentration of metal ions and reducing agents. Electroless deposits are therefore very uniform in thickness all over the part’s shape and size. This process offers a number of distinct advantages when plating irregularly shaped objects, holes, recesses, internal surfaces, valves or threaded parts in the precision engineering company, some of them includes:

• Uniform behavior of the deposits, even on complex shapes.
• Deposits are often less absorbent and thus provide better barrier corrosion protection to steel substrates.
• The deposits cause about 1/5^th as much hydrogen absorption as electrolytic nickel and about 1/10^th as much hard chrome.
• Deposits can be plated with zero or compressive stress.
• Deposits have inherent lubricity and non-galling characteristics, unlike electrolytic nickel.
• Deposits contains good wetability for oils
• In general low phosphorus and especially electroless nickel Boron contains ability of soldering.
• Deposits are much harder and the hardness can be increased by using suitable heat-treatment.

The versatility of electroless nickel plating is demonstrated by the wide range of coatings possible. Lone Star LWD is providing precision engineering services using leading techniques like electroless Nickel plating that can increase the productivity and perfection with customer satisfaction.

Grit blasting is a process in which abrasive particles are pneumatically accelerated and forcefully directed against a surface. These high speed abrasive particles remove contaminations from the surface of the material and recondition the surface for subsequent finishing.

Historically, the material used for artificial sandblasting in precision engineering was sand that had been collected in a uniform size. The silica dust produced in the sandblasting process caused silicosis after constant inhalation of dust.

According to the new grit blasting process used to clean the residual sand from castings the precision engineering company blow air at high velocity lead shots or sand to clean the castings. Procedure for cleaning of metal surfaces, for which fine silica sand is blasted through a nozzle onto the surface by means of compressed air to remove scale as well as other coverings.

There are a number of materials used in grit blasting some are: aluminum oxide, white aluminum oxide, corn cobs, crushed glass grit, glass beads, plastic abrasives, pumice, silicon carbide, steel grit, steel shot and walnut shells. Lone Star LWD employs the best methods and materials for grit blasting that end up in complete satisfaction of client’s requirements.

Here are some of grit blasting applications are listed below in order to have the best quality precision engineering services

• Roughening surfaces in preparation for thermal spraying, painting, bonding or other coating operations
• Removal of rust, scale, sand, or paint
• Removal of burrs
• Provides a lusterless surface finish
• Removes flash from molded components
• Aesthetic surface development or design

Laser cutting is a technique that is used to cut different kinds of materials by using laser, mostly metals such as carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel and copper alloys. It is widely used in the field of precision engineering especially in metal fabrication industry to increase cutting speed and cutting capacity, reduce production costs, increase productivity and improve cutting quality.

LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a device that generates a highly concentrated monochromatic and coherent beam of light. This coherent light is emitted as a result of a process known as stimulated emission. Carbon dioxide laser (CO₂ laser) is one of the widely used types of laser. It is capable of emitting a maximum of 100 kilowatts at 9.6 µm and 10.6 µm and of cutting 20-30 m of one millimeter-thick material in a minute. One of the significant fields of precision engineering services is supposed to be cutting which is done by striking the energy produced by the high-power laser at a small portion from where the cutting is required. That small portion is pierced first before a cut is made.

There are two basic methods of laser cutting, in first one the laser is moved while the object to be cut is kept still and in second case the object is moved according to the requirement while the laser is kept stationary. The striking of the laser beam on the object ultimately raises the temperature causing it to melt burn and evaporate.

The requirement of Laser Power (the rate at which energy is delivered by the light) depends upon the nature of the material to be cut. Thicker materials need more laser power while thinner ones need lesser laser power. Usually, carbon dioxide laser cutting is done with laser power of 1,000 to 1,500 watts. Materials such as steel need more than two KW.

Compared to other metal cutting procedures in precision engineering company, laser cutting is far more advantageous, although it has some disadvantages, too. Its primary advantages are precision, cutting quality, cutting speed and economy. High voltage requirement is one of its greatest disadvantages as it is too risky to work in such a high voltage laser beams.

Today, there is significant use of precision engineering is in oil, gas and petrochemical industry. The petrochemicals are basically chemical products made from raw materials of petroleum or other hydrocarbon origin. Although, some of the chemical compounds that originate from petroleum may also be derived from coal and natural gas, petroleum is the major source in our life. It has so many applications in our daily life. Petrochemical and their products can only be obtained with the help of precision engineered products and we can utilize it. Precision engineering has so many applications in different field of life; mainly it’s in the industries, crafts, technology, manufacturing, oil and gas, and in some other related industries. One of the major uses of the precision engineering in the oil and gas and petrochemical industry is the equipment which is used in the oil exploration. Such equipment requires significant accuracy and that is enabled if precision engineered components and equipment is installed. So, a precision engineering company always uses the best and high tech solution to deliver the best quality products and service.

Precision engineering is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and optical engineering concerned with designing machines, fixtures, and other structures that have exceptionally high tolerances, are repeatable, and are stable over time. These approaches have applications in machine tools, MEMS, NEMS, opt mechanical design, and many other fields.

The Precision Engineering was first published in January 1979; since 1986 it has also been known to many of its readers as the Journal of the American Society of Precision Engineering. Now, with effect from January 2000, it assumes a new look, proudly proclaiming itself the Journal of the International Societies for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology. Precession engineering and the Nano technologies are devoted to the multi disciplinary study and the practice.
In addition to its continuing association with the American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE), the journal is now associated with two further bodies: the newly established European society for precision engineering and nanotechnology and the Japan Society for Precision Engineering (JSPE), founded in 1933.
