CTG to launch Keronite piston crown treatment at Autosport Engineering 2002

Wed 19th, Dec 2001


In addition to its advanced composite range of propshafts, driveshafts, torque tubes, pressure vessels, and engine fastenings, CTG has launched its first ceramic treatment product specifically for motorsport.

CTG Keronite piston crown treatment is a revolutionary new treatment boasting several advantages over hard anodising, plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings, and other processes. Through the development and refinement of the treatment process, CTG can treat batch sizes from single jobs to full production. Unlike ordinary coating methods, Keronite technology gives no adhesion problems and therefore total reliability.

A set of treated pistons completed comprehensive, independent testing over a three-month period in a WRC engine, undergoing 80 hours on a dyno followed by 400km of competition. These tests, even in such a hostile engine environment, have proven the significant advantages of this new technology:

 - Excellent thermal barrier protection, reducing the under-crown piston temperature by an average of 60 degrees C

- Extreme surface hardness, preventing the metal from degradation and premature softening

- Excellent resistance to detonation, allowing ignition to be advanced

- Superb adhesion properties, improving reliability - Immunity to detonation

- Dramatic reduction of carbon build-up

This revolutionary performance and reliability-enhancing product is extremely cost-effective, and is available for all levels of motorsport, only from CTG.
