Ceramics Coating piston for Serious Engine
[FONT=Arial]Hi all serious racer...
Would like to share some information on the ceramics coating on piston that is currently only used in the F1 racing..
No doubt that the coating dont comes cheap but it seriouly can improve performance in racing..
A normal motorcycle piston can rev up 8000rpm, a high performance piston can rev up 10,000 rpm and a cermaics coated piston can go beyond 12,000rpm..This not only improves in torque but engines runs cooler as the ceramics coating on a piston is a heat barriers. It will also improve the life of the piston.
Coating the piston reduces friction and wear, reduces part operating temperature, can increase horse power and torque, reduce or eliminate detonation, allow higher compression ratios to be utilized and allow tighter piston to wall clearances for a better ring seal.
Pistons can be coated with two different systems. Ceramics coating as Thermal Barriers and Nano coating, I-cotz for Oil in piston. These systems can be beneficial on all pistons whether 4 stroke, 2 stroke, gas, alcohol, diesel, reciprocal or rotary.
We will look at the Ceramics coating, as thermal Barrier coatings first.
Keronite, ceramics coating, is recommended for all High Compression Turbo Charged, Super Charged or engines running Nitrous Oxide.
With ceramics coating, this will insulate the piston against damaging heat transfer, keeping more of the heat generated by combustion, pushing down on the piston for greater power. By retaining minimal heat on the surface of the piston, less heat is transferred to the incoming fuel mixture, leading to a reduction in pre-ignition which leads to detonation. The coatings can also allow heat at the surface to move more evenly over the surface reducing hot spots and the coatings reflect heat into the chamber for more even distribution of heat, allowing more efficient combustion of the fuel. This allows more of the fuel molecules to be oxidized, which in turn, means less fuel is needed for optimum power. The result is an engine that makes more power, can be run with a leaner air/fuel mix and less initial timing and has less thermal expansion due to a reduction in the heat absorbed.
By applying Nano coating, Icotz.
With I-cotz, Nano coating. A non-stick, liquid repellent coating to the underside of the piston, oil that is splashed onto the piston to cool it will shed rapidly. Heat transfers most rapidly when there is a large difference in temperature. The longer oil clings to a hot surface the hotter the oil becomes. By shedding the cooling oil more rapidly, cooler oil is splashed over the surface more frequently. If the oil "hangs" longer, it absorbes less heat and blocks cooler oil from contacting the hot surface. A cooler piston grows less, allowing tighter piston to wall clearances.
