Hard Gold plating

sample of Hard Gold plating

Hard gold plating contains a small amount of hardener.
Our hard gold plating has a cobalt content of 1 to 3 wt% in order to increase the hardness compared to bright gold plating, and has a high hardness of Hv190 to 250.
Therefore, contact resistance of the hard gold plating deposit is higher than that of pure gold plating or bright gold plating.
Even with high-hardness, the hard gold plating of Mitsuya is superior in wear resistance, electric conductivity, soldering characteristics and low contact resistance.

Hard gold plating is required particularly in the following components:
・The sliding parts that require conductivity and hardness.
・The slip ring that require conductivity and sliding property.

Contact resistance of Bright gold and Hard gold are almost the same
