Can advanced engine coatings reduce friction, protect racing components and free up horsepower? Rocketman Coatings explains its QLC surface technology—and what engine builders need to know.
Rocky Jordache, Owner, and Billy Jordache, Vice President of Rocketman Coatings, join EPARTRADE’s Race Industry Now to explore quartz-like ceramic (QLC), a proprietary surface treatment designed for low friction and greater durability in performance and racing applications.
Learn about:
• QLC’s reported 1–5 micron thickness
• Proprietary “kinetic wave” application technology
• Applying the treatment without heating the component
• Oil retention and protection during engine startup
• A reported average coefficient of friction of 0.07 in piston-ring testing
• Piston-ring flank vs. face treatment—and why sealing matters
• Applications for camshafts, lifters, bearings, transmission gears and oil-pump gears
• Heat transfer, component quality and practical application limits
• Manufacturing partnerships and licensing opportunities
From valvetrain wear to piston-ring friction, this technical discussion examines how surface engineering could help reduce mechanical losses while protecting precision engine components.
