Boost Your Piston Performance with Custom Dome and Skirt Coating

Boost Your Piston Performance with Custom Dome and Skirt Coating

26th Mar 2018

We made our name in the high performance industry with our light-weight racing piston machining. As time progresses we have stayed on the forefront of piston technology to provide our customers with only the best and now, we offer even more services making Patterson Elite Performance your one-stop shop for all your custom piston needs.

SKIRT COATING:

Our custom piston skirt coating is a spray-on dry film lubricant designed to reduce friction, reduce wear, and inhibit galling on metal-to-metal contact without compromising the piston’s base material, geometry or heat treatment. The coating is formulated to withstand extreme temperatures with excellent adhesion even after repeated thermal cycling making it ideal for high performance engines.

DOME COATING:
Our custom piston dome coating is a high-temperature ceramic coatings that is designed to protect the piston dome in high-temperature applications. The coating creates a thermal barrier that is both durable and resistant to thermal shock when is applied to the top of the piston. It is designed to reflect heat back into the combustion chamber. This will increase exhaust gas velocity and greatly improve scavenging potential. Our dome coating can also extend the life of your piston by decreasing the rate of thermal transfer. Your pistons will run cooler and retain more of their tensile strength. They will be protected from high temperature oxidation and hot spots. The coating spreads heat evenly over the entire coated surface reducing detonation, pre-ignition and allowing the use of lower octane fuel. The barrier inhibits heat from being conducted through the piston to the wrist pins and rods which will in-turn keep the crankshaft, bearings, oil and entire bottom end at a lower temperature.
