What kind of ceramic coats are available?
We have heat barriers, which are the most common. There are also ceramic coatings for piston tops that reflect heat back into the flame during ignition, creating a longer and cleaner burn cycle. There are thermal dispersants that draw the heat off the part and extend the parts service life. There are oil shedding coats that enhance oil return and reduce drag due to oil clinging onto the part, like a crankshaft. Finally, there are dry film lubricants that reduce friction and lower surface temps of the coated part, like a bearing. Dry film lubricants impregnate the surface and burnish down to a .000 thickness, so no extra expensive machining has to be done to accommodate these coats.
