E-C-O Revitalizes
BOTH New and Used Parts
In a brand new engine, mating parts, such as rings and cylinder walls, have specific manufacture and assembly clearances (~10 mkm). However, the oil in these engines do not have enough viscosity or pressure to be able to produce an oil wedge between these metal parts. So, the metal grinds on metal and the wear out process begins from the first minute of engine start up and continues until parts need to be repaired or replaced.
With worn parts E-C-O actually rebuilds and repairs the damaged metal surface to like new or better than new condition. E-C-O helps with the break-in process and provides part protection better than any other technology in existence today.
Without E-C-O, friction pairs undergo a constant self-destructing process. The metal surfaces contact each other creating a friction process where atoms micro-weld together and break apart. Eventually they weaken and fall off, producing metal shavings and particles in the lubricant. This process is also being assisted by radical hydrogen ions that diffuse into the metal lattice and cause brittlization. This produces increased clearances and decreased performance.
During stage 1, E-C-O particles are introduced into the friction zone via the existing lubricant. Using the friction HEAT as a catalyst, the complex molecules become activated and begin a physicochemical reaction by diffusing into the surface of the metal. E-C-O begins by cleaning the oxidized and/or corrosive surface.
Once the surface is clean, E-C-O starts to transform the properties of the metal to take on near ceramic properties.
E-C-O continues to diffuse itself into the metal lattice and begins building a Ceramic-Metal protective layer. It substitutes the Fe (iron) in the metal's surface with Si (silicon) forming very hard Ceramic-Metal bond. The newly formed layer consists of a highly improved metal surface that is initially very mobile, which allows the surface to adapt to the most energy optimal conditions. Atomic attractors are then formed and the active surface attracts the minute metal particles that are present in the existing lubricant.
E-C-O then begins to rebuild and repair the metal's surface until optimal conditions are met.
Lastly, the E-C-O process further optimizes the metal surface by rearranging the dislocations to provide the best possible mating conditions. E-C-O restructures the metal surfaces up to 300 microns deep. The grains of the metal become smaller, which are strong enough to resist wear.
This new E-C-O surface lasts an extremely long time and will reduce friction and internal losses in any metal-to-metal friction environment.
When the process is complete E-C-O will have then formed a remarkable Ceramic-Metal protective layer which is:
• much harder
• much smoother
• reduced friction
• has dielectric properties to help prevent oxidation and corrosion.
