Parts Coatings: Taking Engine Performance to the Next Level

摘要

Whether it's more horsepower, better throttle response, or better durability, everybody is looking for an edge when it comes to building a performance engine. Any of these can win races. So what kinds of tricks are winning engine builders using to get an edge over their competitors? Many are using highly specialized coatings to manage heat, reduce friction and prevent engine-damaging metal-to-metal contact. Coatings have long since evolved from mysterious black art concoctions that sometimes delivered less then optimal results into highly refined surface treatments that provide targeted benefits for a wide variety of engine parts applications.
