DIASOL R&D Engineering Inc. is an advanced materials and surface engineering company developing proprietary technologies in diffusion-based surface alloying, hard coatings, nanocomposite coatings, anodizing, micro-arc oxidation (MAO), functional thin films and advanced functional materials.
The company builds upon more than three decades of industrial and academic expertise in surface engineering, vacuum technologies, tribology, corrosion science, electrochemical surface treatments, thin films and advanced manufacturing. DIASOL combines scientific knowledge with industrial product development to create innovative surface engineering solutions for demanding industrial applications.
A key differentiator of DIASOL is its proprietary Cold-Wall Plasma-Assisted Diffusion Alloying technology. This innovative process enables the incorporation of selected alloying elements into metallic surfaces, creating engineered surface layers with enhanced wear resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical properties and functional performance while preserving the bulk characteristics of the substrate. The technology provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to conventional bulk alloy manufacturing routes and enables the development of application-specific surface compositions and functionalities.
DIASOL develops advanced surface alloying solutions for aluminium, titanium, magnesium, advanced steels, stainless steels, nickel-based alloys and other engineering materials. The technology platform enables the incorporation of a broad range of alloying and functional elements to tailor surface properties including wear resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, biocompatibility, catalytic activity and high-temperature performance.
In addition to diffusion-based surface alloying technologies, the company possesses extensive expertise in physical vapour deposition (PVD), hard coatings, nanocomposite coatings, multilayer coating architectures, anodizing, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and multifunctional thin films. DIASOL develops coating and surface modification solutions for wear protection, corrosion protection, electrical conductivity enhancement, thermal management and specialised industrial applications.
The company is actively developing advanced surface technologies for hydrogen energy systems, including conductive and corrosion-resistant coatings for metallic fuel cell bipolar plates. Supporting capabilities include interfacial contact resistance (ICR) testing, electrochemical characterisation, corrosion evaluation, tribological testing and advanced materials analysis.
DIASOL also develops innovative technologies based on boron-doped diamond (BDD), advanced electrochemical systems and next-generation thermal management materials. Current activities include advanced oxidation technologies, functional electrochemical materials, hydrogen-related technologies and engineered materials for demanding industrial environments.
Through the integration of materials science, surface engineering and application-oriented product development, DIASOL aims to deliver innovative technologies that improve performance, durability, resource efficiency and sustainability across transportation, aerospace, energy, hydrogen, medical and advanced manufacturing sectors.
DIASOL is seeking industrial companies, research organisations, universities and technology developers interested in collaborative R&D projects in advanced materials, surface engineering, functional coatings, hydrogen technologies, advanced manufacturing and sustainable industrial solutions.
