Cryo/ceramic/powder Coating Cf Special!!!!
Cryo/ceramic/powder coating special!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok guys!
I am a local metallurgist that’s offering ceramic coatings, cryo treatments and powder coatings!!!! at special prices to Corvette Forum members ONLY!!!! it is a lot cheaper than other places plus you get to talk directly with the owner, me! you will find our quality better than anywhere else!!! why buy from a non Corvette owner/enthusiast coating place. I own a 1996 auto LT1 and I love it. You will see me posting a lot on the forum to get tips and give my 2 cents. I will treat all your parts with care! What I brag about is the fact we can coat any metal bumper to bumper!
Here is a brief over view of what each is:
Powder Coating:
is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground powders of pigment and resin to coat the surface. Powder coating uses an electrostatically charged technique in which the powders are charged so that the powder particles adhere to the metal surface and are then melted and fused together in the curing process.
Since its introduction in North America almost 40 years ago, powder coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology, currently representing over 10 percent of the total industrial finishing market. More and more finishing engineers for a countless array of products have switched from liquid finishing to powder coating as a way to produce a high quality and durable finish while maximizing production, cutting costs, improving efficiency, and complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
In addition to a wide range of colors and textures, an almost infinite range of properties can be built into the finish. Examples include resistance to ultra-violet rays, enhanced durability and better corrosion resistance.
Thousands of different kinds of parts and products are now powder coated. Examples include dryer drums, refrigerator liners, hospital beds, metal furniture, electrical cabinets, lighting fixtures, power saws, farm implements, curtain rods, ceiling fans, light truck bodies, engine, suspension, frame and other auto parts, motorcycle frames, bicycle frames, and on and on!
What to powder coat:
intake Valve covers Chassis wheels
Ceramic coating:
Ceramic coatings or Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC's) are designed to reduce the movement of heat. In some instances, such as exhaust systems, you want to keep the heat within the part. In combustion chambers you want to use the heat generated by combustion to push down on the piston rather than bleed off into surrounding surfaces.
Benefits derived from Thermal Ceramic Coating when applied to your exhaust system: (1) Drop in underhood temperature (2) Corrosion Protection (3) Extend life of exhaust components (4) Great appearance, the look of chrome without staining or bluing (5) Rapid cool-down.
Being able to move and control heat is of tremendous importance. Excessive temperature can lead to metal fatigue, boiling fluids, damaging metal expansion, reduced electrical efficiency and a host of other problems. Traditionally dealing with heat has been handled either by expanding the radiating surface, constructing parts from materials that are more heat conductive and using the color black. Several Thermal Dispersant coatings are now available and when utilized in conjunction with other coatings the flow of heat can be managed to optimize engine life and performance.
What to ceramic coat:
Hedders Exhaust componets Rear differentials
Cryo Treating:
Race teams have found deep cryogenic engine processing to give them an edge on the competition. With the engine components cryoed they can save money on parts and run more on the edge without constant fear of burn down or breakdown.
The advantage that the cryogenic process brings is a significant increase in abrasive wear resistance and durability. These are accompanied by increases in tensile strength, toughness and dimensional stability coupled with the release of internal residuel stresses.
Cryogenically processed motors and othe components have less vibration, less burn downs and less distortion. Treated piston rings seal better against treated cylinder walls reducing blow-by equaling more HP and torque. Race car brake rotors see a 3-5 time life increase after cryo, resisting cracking and warping. Cryoed brake rotors also result in a much longer brake pad life.
For the non believers:
All iron and steel are alloys with carbon, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, silicon, etc. in specific proportions. As the alloys cool from the molten state, they crystallize in particular forms depending on the alloy and cooling rate. Using a microscope, one can see the crystalline structure. To simplify slightly, the alloy and cooling rate determine the crystalline structure, and the crystalline structure ultimately determines the hardness, toughness, brittleness, etc of the part.
After the part is cooled, the crystalline structure can be modified by reheating to a specific temperature, and cooling at a specific rate (annealing, tempering, hardening) The surface can be modified by chemical treatment to modify the structure chemically (case hardening or nitriding (Tufftriding). Finally all alloys evolve their crystalline structure over time even at room temperature. Aluminum alloys do it faster than iron alloys.
Cryotreating accelerates the crystalline evolution of the alloy to the ultimate structure, which as it happens is harder than the original. (The usual technical term in iron alloys is martensite transformation into pearlite) Pearlite is a submicroscopic arrangement of Ferrite (iron) and cementite (iron carbide). The iron carbide gives hardness, and the small grain structure gives toughness. Again, this will happen over long time at room temperature, but cryotreatment accelerates and makes uniform the process. So much for tech talk. It's actually much more complex. Some alloys benefit more than others, and some parts may be adequate without treatment.
The structure can be verified microscopically. This means that cryotreatment has an objective means of measurement. (One could also do strength tests). In other words, it's not just hocus pocus.
What to cryo:
Pistons / Pins / Rings Heads Jugs / Cylinders Brake Rotors
Cylinder Sleeves Spark Plugs Valves Blocks
Gears / Chain / Sprockets Camshafts Drive / Jack Shafts Springs
Transmission Clutches Crankshafts Connecting Rods
Lifters Push Rods Ring & Pinion Gears
