FriCSo - Benefits

Value Proposition for Customers

FriCSo’s Surface Engineering Characteristics

• Chemically bonded organic nano-layer significantly increases oil retention
• Improved performance under boundary-lubrication and mixed-lubrication conditions
• Very smooth surface (Ra ? 0.03 µm; ISO N1) with high bearing ratio
• New era in metal finishing - efficient polymer-based super finishing process reduces surface roughness from 0.3 µm to 0.03 µm
(ISO N5 to N1) in one step
• Significantly increased surface hardness
• In-line process using current superfinishing machinery at mass-production throughput
• Deployed on centerless feed-through, honing, and flat-surface machines
• Proven, long-term durability

Benefits

Performance

• Innovative surface treatment reduces friction
• Energy saving through reduction of friction losses
• Compliance with environmental and emission standards (process is non-toxic and non-polluting)
• Reduces wear and increases service life under extreme working conditions
• Process easily adapted to existing in-line machines

Production Time

• Dramatically reduces processing time for finishing hard surfaces

Alternative to coating

• Alternative to coating at a price suitable for mass production (coating like performance)
• Replaces batch process with in-line process on your current production machines
• Environmental technology - environmentally clean process
