Creator of Composite Diamond Coating®

Surface Technology, Inc. is the creator and technical leader of CDC - Composite Diamond Coating®, an exceptionally engineered coating of electroless nickel with fine diamond. The synergy of these materials makes CDC an exceptionally hard and wear resistant coating. CDC conforms to even the most complex geometries and is an excellent replacement for chrome plating.

Ni-Grip™ Friction Shims

Surface Technology, Inc is the leading manufacturer of diamond coated friction shims in any shape or size, base metal, roughness level, in large or small quantities. Our Ni-Grip™ friction shims are used in applications ranging from aerospace and automotive to robotics and energy generation.

Contact STI for One-Plate® Electroless Nickel solutions, the simplest EN in the world. These One-Plate® systems use just one “Q” solution for both bath make-up and replenishment. This innovation by STI overcomes the many shortcomings of using three A, B, and C solutions. Available in low, medium, high phosphorous, and composite EN varieties. Naturally, all are RoHS compliant.”

Hardness / Wear Resistant Coatings

Surface Technology, Inc. has pioneered a broad spectrum of hard / wear resistant coating technologies. These technologies serve to increase the life of wear parts, provide consistent performance, reduce maintenance related downtime, and allow new design opportunities. All are available as services from STI’s facility on your parts or as chemical products for you to apply on your own with full guidance and support from STI.

STI offers this array of technologies in order to address the specific wear mechanisms and conditions of use that exist in various applications. Consultation with an STI technical representative can help identify which of these technical solutions is most appropriate for your requirements.
