Ceramic Coated Pistons Benefits

Tbc coated pistons run cooler and retain much more of their tensile strength.

Ceramic coated pistons benefits.

It prevents the extremely hot combustion gases from soaking into the piston material during the explosion within the cylinder. The term ceramic coating is familiar to most car buyers today. It is an oven cure ceramic thin film thermal barrier coating designed to be applied on the top of pistons on the top of valves and the combustion chamber on a cylinder head. Even before delivery some take their new car for applying ceramic coating.

Typically piston tops and rings are ceramic coated as well as valves rods etc. Cerakote v series piston coat is a dark bronze gold with a soft metallic look. The coating protects the piston skirt from heat friction and wear resulting in a reduction of parasitic drag while decreasing heat saturation into the piston skirt. One of the great benefits of ceramic coating is that it is so universal diblasi explains.

For example an uncoated wiseco piston manufactured for a 4 000 inch bore should be installed in a 4 000 inch bore and an armor fit coated piston designed for a 4 000 inch bore should also go into a 4 000 inch bore. Coating the piston top with ceramics provides a fantastic thermal benefit. Fortunately unlike some custom piston upgrades or options ceramic crown coat is appropriate for all kinds of applications. This keeps more heat and energy within the explosion itself.

Tbc protects against high temperature oxidation eliminates hot spots and encourages proper flame travel. If measured on top of the armorfit coating the piston to cylinder clearance is less than the uncoated bare piston. We have huge success using this in all types of applications. Ceramic coating is a clear coat which includes a liquid.

Polydyn rp piston skirt coating is a ceramic reinforced dry film lubricant with a low affinity for oil.
