• increase in service life of various tools, puncheon and moulds from a few to a dozen times;
• work of the tool in heavier modes and higher speeds without using special coolants;
• increase in accuracy of processing products;
• increase in productivity

Our plants work at the largest enterprises for manufacturing of cutting, stamping tools, moulds, puncheons, etc., such as:

• Moscow Tool Plant;
• Kirovgrad Hard Alloys Plant;
• ALG (Moscow);
• AvtoVAZ;
• Robert Bosch Saratov;
• AIS Industries (China);
• IBT (Israel);
• and other enterprises.

In addition, many companies use the plants of our previous developments such as NNV-6.6 (I1-I5).

CALT SID technology is: reliability of Bosch automobile spark plugs installed in your car; large resource of tools, which you use; high technical level of VAZ cars production, which you may drive (have driven), etc.

See examples of tools, strengthened on plants.

2. Mechanical engineering.
CALT SID technologies enabled to use high-performance electric arc method widely in mechanical engineering and get:

• wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, anti-friction and other coatings well-functioning in the units of machinery and mechanisms;
• special protective coatings for special products, such as nuclear industry;
• environmentally friendly coating technology to replace electroplating;
• other special functional coatings.

Our plants work at many engineering plants, such as:

• Chepetsk mechanical plant;
• Volgaburmash;
• Kramatorsk engineering plant;
• AvtoVAZ;
• Kovrovsk mechanical plant;
• Vacuum glass plant;
• P. COAT P.V.D. Coating Technologies – Plant of High-accuracy Mechanics (Israel);
• and other enterprises.

CALT SID coatings are: long life and high reliability of mechanisms; possibility to create mechanisms operating in more stringent modes and in more severe conditions. In particular, our equipment strengthens the engine parts of special machines operating in severe conditions with high dustiness levels.

See examples of parts , strengthened on our plants.

3. Aerospace industry.
Application technology of thick (up to 500 microns) gas-tight thermal barrier chemically neutral coatings is:

• reliability of products operating in harsh environments at high temperatures;
• required service life of modern super-power rocket engines using propellants and liquid oxygen at high temperatures;
• reliability of operation and increase in service life of aircraft engines and other power plants.

Our plants operate in a NPO Energomash of Academician V.P. Glushko OJSC for strengthening of parts for rocket engines of the first stage. Rocket engines with parts machined at our plants, will pick up not only the Russian and Ukrainian rocket, but also the U.S. Atlas rockets.

See examples of products. that are processed at our plants.

4. Medical industry. .
CALT SID coatings are:

• antibacterial coatings for medical instruments and devices;
• functional coatings for a variety of implants.

A well-known example is coating in imitation of gold on dentures – in most cases it is obtained on our developed plants.

5. Industrial and consumer products.
Our technologies are:

• protective corrosion resistant coatings on industrial products of wide application, elements of building structures, devices and mechanisms for oil refining and petrochemicals, etc.;
• reliability and required service life of components and mechanisms operating in harsh environments, including both external conditions, such as marine environments, and conditions inside mechanisms – fuel and other chemically aggressive components;
• decorative (including imitation of gold), and protective coatings on consumer and other goods, such as:
  • costume jewelry;
  • cutlery;
  • glass and ceramics;
  • advertising signs on city streets;
  • decorative elements inside and outside premises;
  • roofs and domes of churches;
  • and other goods.

Our coatings make high quality products out of consumer, construction, decorative and other goods.

Our plants work at many enterprises that produce industrial and consumer goods, such as:

• Mosshtamp;
• Rosstroymash;
• IBT Israel;
• and other enterprises.

See examples of products with protective coatings and decorative coatings made on our plants.

6. Electronics. .
CALT SID technologies are:

• heat-conductive insulating substrates;
• barrier layers;
• Antidiffusion layers (see details);
• Insulating nanolayer;
• Metallization of elements;
• other functional layer for electronic devices.

7. MEMS – microelectromechanical systems and other nano- and microsystems. . 
CALT SID technology is creation of MEMS elements and other nano- and microsystems.

MEMS are real three-dimensional structures which elements should have the opportunity of relative mechanical movement, in contrast to microelectronic products, which are essentially two-dimensional and mechanically static. Formation of such structures requires more effective processing methods than the methods used in microelectronics.

CALT SID technology is formation of three-dimensional structures for MEMS and other nano-and microsystems.

8. Creation and production of new nanostructured materials. .
CALT SID technology is creation of:

• new multi-component materials;
• materials based on intermetallic compounds;
• multilayer nano-structured materials;
• formation of three-dimensional (3-D) structures;
• and other functional nanostructured materials.

When multiple high-current electric source of wide-aperture separated purified plasma work together, alternately, or combined with cathodes of different materials, formation of multicomponent materials is possible without “observing” the laws of thermodynamics that determine equilibrium processes such as diffusion and solubility, that is materials that can not be obtained by traditional ways.

CALT SID technology is forming of multicomponent, multilayer, nanostructured materials on a substrate, nano-structured and three-dimensional structures, etc. See examples of multi-component multi-layer material , formed on our setup.

NNV-6.6 (I1-I5) plants, developed by us earlier, are used for research and development in different scientific centers such as the Russian Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”, Tomsk Scientific Center SB RAS, etc. In some cases, plants are equipped with additional ion, plasma, gas sources and other devices. To date, such developments are not widely used in industry.

Capabilities of our modern plants and technologies are incommensurably higher than capabilities of NNV-6.6 plants and technologies applied on them..

Application field of our equipment and technology are constantly expanding – we are constantly conducting research, developing new equipment and technology. Do you have any questions? Contact us today and together we will understand the benefits of our technology in your area.
