DiamonDyze™ Salt Spray Testing
Testing of DiamonDyze™
on aluminum plates reveals significant potential to
increase the corrosion protection of the protected part
compared to standard colored anodizing. A DiamonDyze™
Yellow test plate has been in salt spray testing since
December 2009. No change in appearance has been noted.
Both Blue and Red plates have been in test since January
2010 and they show no change.
Chemical resistance also appears to be significantly
better than with standard colored anodizing. To strip
anodizing it is normal to use an alkaline solution. In
testing it has taken over 3 times longer to strip
DiamonDyze™
than standard colored anodizing.
Anealon
Anealon is now being
released to the market. This is a coating that has the
ability to form a self lubricating ceramic film under
extreme heat and pressure. Anealon is available in
various forms, the primary one being a coating. While
this process was initially released in the mid 1990’s by
Tech Line, it was used only in very unique applications.
Now it is available to the market under License. The
coating can take various forms including a version that
is non hazardous and contains FDA acceptable
ingredients. How well does it work? Consider the
following test results.
A 350 cu in Chevy Cam shaft was coated for us in a vehicle competing in NHRA
sanctioned Drag Racing, in a Stock Eliminator class. The
cam was coated with Anealon. The used lifters were
re-installed in any available lifter bore. The springs
installed were heavier (about twice the normal spring
pressure). The break in oil was a zero weight synthetic.
No oil additives were used. The engine was fired up and
allowed to idle. The valves were set cold and at idle.
Normally this Cam would
have failed within a few minutes of startup. The reality
is that it experienced over 100 runs in competition. It
never required valve adjustment and showed virtually no
wear. NO other coating can duplicate this level of
protection. All the work was handled by a Tech Line
Applicator, M.A.C.H. in Phoenix, AZ.
