History of Ceramics
Ceramic coated parts far outperform normal metal parts by providing a harder, stronger, smoother, and less corrosive surface. The normal coating process is virtually too costly to see any Return on Investment.
XADO is the only technology that provides this new surface chemically - for a fraction of the cost, and a large Return on Investment.
Experts have been building and coating engine and drive train parts with ceramics to increase efficiencies of high-performance vehicles with little concern for price. For the first time, with a revolutionary new nano-particle ceramic-metal technology, you are able to economically provide these same performance enhancing features in your vehicles.
Ceramics stand above all other friction reducing and thermal barrier coatings currently being used in combustion chambers. Ceramics have characteristics shared by no other product, providing an unrivaled layer of protection and extended life. Ceramic coatings actually strengthen parts by providing a harder and smoother surface that is stronger in compression. The cured "cermet" provides an integrated layer of material that can withstand far more heat and can actually "move" heat energy inside the combustion chamber increasing the effective oxidation of fuel. Ceramics drastically reduce metal fatigue and provide a very effective corrosion inhibiting film that protects the part against oxidation with excellent chemical resistance that further extends part life.
In many applications price is the most important determinant. But when a lost-cost part of an entire engine must be repaired or replaced because of unstoppable wear, looking to slow down or even reverse this wear may be the key to lowering overall costs. The ability to withstand a harsh friction environment, extreme temperatures, and corrosive elements are just a few of a myriad of applications where the coating of metals with ceramics can mean the difference between success and failure. All of this can only work if the cost of your investment is recovered quickly and surpassed greatly. This is virtually impossible with manually applied ceramics.
Increased Horsepower, Efficiency, Fuel Economy and Lifespan: Internal engine components are made from dissimilar metals. Due to the lack of metallurgical similarities of these components, they absorb and dissipate heat at different rates. The ability to protect and cool internal and external engine components actually contributes to noticeable gain in horsepower and performance. The three major contributors to horsepower gain are heat resistance, friction reduction, and wear protection. Over the years, performance engine builders have been refining the leading edge of horsepower gains while experimenting with ceramic coatings.
Ceramic coatings are used as a barrier between dissimilar metals to reduce friction, which causes heat, creating wear of engine components. By applying ceramic coatings to these dissimilar metal components, it allows them to interface with one another more uniformly and compatibly.
