Ceramic Piston Crown Coating

Coatings add an insignificant amount of height to the top of the piston so je s thermal coating is compatible with pretty much any piston dome or dish shape as well as features like gas porting.

Ceramic piston crown coating.

0 0025 running thickness a thermal barrier coating helps keep the heat in the combustion gases and out of the piston. 20 up per piston crown and the potential list of benefits. Our thermbar piston crown coating is a ceramic metallic coating which reflects heat back into the combustion chamber and improves engine operation. Piston coatings are no longer the space age snake oils that mystified engine builders a few decades ago.

I have spoke with tech support at swain polydyn and embee and found each of them extremely helpful knowledgeable informative. This acts as a thermal barrier reducing the transfer of heat through conduction from the crown. The heat rejected to any oil used for cooling the piston is also reduced. Model of the piston and coating layer constructed using solid works modeling software.

I have researching the benefits of the ceramic piston crown coating on the market today. To the rest of the piston and engine structure. For the meager cost of the process approx. First developed in the aerospace industry coatings suffered a tarnished reputation in the early days of automotive use as racers claimed they often flaked off the metal parts they were presumed to protect.

To further improve the thermal efficiency of the two stroke cylinder swain tech often applies tbc to the domes of the heads and the exhaust ports keeping the heat where it is needed to make power and out of the areas that lead to failures. Surfaces like the piston crown or valves. When used on a piston crown this significantly reduces the amount of heat transferred into the piston from the combustion gasses which results in the piston being cooler and less heat transfer to the cylinder walls oil system piston is cooled to a large degree by oil spraying on. Ceramic piston crown coatings generally have very low thermal conductivity.

In this study the tbc coating is applied on the piston crown. The ceramic coating acts as a heat barrier same idea as having a glove on when you get something out of the oven. Diblasi says since the ceramic crown coating is only 0005 we do not have to adjust any design characteristics when adding it.
