Called DODUPRINT(R), the process has proven itself in practice and is successfully employed by Europe's leading diamond tool manufacturers. For this application, AMI DODUCO is one of the leading suppliers. In electroplated diamond tools, the grinding medium is embedded and fixed in an electroplated or chemically deposited layer of nickel. After they wear out, many of these costly tools can be stripped and re-coated with nickel, thus extending their useful life. The most important characteristic of AMI DODUCO's DODUPRINT nickel strippers is that they do not harm the base materials. The cyanide-free stripping process allows a high stripping rate of up to 50 micrometers per hour at 50(degree)C and ensures that even coatings up to 350 micrometers in thickness can be removed quickly. Because of its high nickel uptake capacity of approximately 30 grams per liter, (DODUPRINT 686), the nickel stripper has a long life. "AMI DODUCO is committed to providing toolmakers with environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient nickel stripping products," said Karl-Heinz Funke, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing at AMI DODUCO. "We are proud of DODUPRINT's solid reputation among leading manufacturers of diamond tools."
