Ceramic Coating Horsepower Spray

The horsepower is made from coating the internal engine components, which are made from dissimilar metals. Because of the metallurgical dissimilarities of the internal engine components they are able to dissipate heat at different cycling periods and thus the major three contributions to horsepower gain include heat resistance, friction reduction and wear protection. The ceramic coatings are used as a barrier between dissimilar metals to reduce friction, because friction produces heat and thus creates unwanted wear of internal engine components. By applying ceramic coatings to the dissimilar metals that will allow them to interface with one another more uniformly and compatible.

Before applying ceramic coatings to the components their surface must be prepared by media or sandblasting and this will remove the components' outer crust surface and any contamination exposing the metal underneath. It is very important for the component to be pure and clean before applying ceramic coatings and another measure you can take so you can assure that is to heat the component in an oven to sweat out any additional contaminations or porosity from within its metallurgical molecular structure.

The ceramic coatings are available in a variety of coatings, including tungsten and titanium. These coatings must be applied with an automotive detail touch-up gravity fed spray gun with a small nozzle size for better control. It is best to apply ceramic coatings inside a spray paint booth using a respirator when using solvent or water based coatings. After the coating is applied to the component it must be inspected for uniform coverage, then allow to air dry at room temperature to slowly begin the solvent or water based evaporation process and before you place it in an oven to cure.
