CerMet Nano-Particle Ceramic Conditioner for Metal Surfaces

Case Study Independent Field Test, re: SAE J1321 Type II Test

executive summary CerMet dramatically outperforms normal metal parts, reduces internal friction, increases engine performance, and improves fuel efficiencies by providing a harder, stronger, smoother and less corrosive surface. Other benefits include better compression, less noise / vibration, and longer lasting parts. This white paper and case studies highlights and demonstrates the following benefits:

-

DECREASES Replacement and Maintenance Repair Costs RENEWS Engines & Parts PROTECTS the Metal Surface REDUCES Friction, Heat, Corrosion, Harmful Emissions INCREASES Compression & Power IMPROVES Fuel Efficiency

features and benefits overview CerMet is a unique ceramic coating and conditioner that provides part protection and increased efficiencies without disassembly. CerMet produces much greater efficiency averages while drastically reducing friction and increasing power and torque. CerMet guarantees a 2:1 ROI (note: typical ROI’s range between 3:1 and 12:1) in fuel economy alone. Other significant savings are attained through extended part life, less maintenance, and reduced replacement costs.

-

Fills existing cavities and voids on the metal surfaces, preventing further

destruction of the metal

-

Removes and ties up the hydrogen ions from the steel matrix, forming a very

strong ceramic layer on the metal surface

-

Process involves not only the surface, but also the under surface layer of metal,

making the steel cluster smaller and less brittle

-

Newly formed layer is extremely slippery, smooth and hard, resisting the

deterioration process

-

Micro hardness of 650-750kg/sq mm, compared to < 300kg/sq.mm for most new parts

-

Surface roughness in most new parts is between 0.9 and 2.1 Ra. A CerMet coating has a surface roughness of 0.06 Ra

-

CerMet coating is dielectric and highly corrosion resistant

procedure The SAE J1321 Type II test was conducted by an independent testing company, Claude Travis & Associates, implementing the CerMet ceramic-metal conditioning nano-particle technology. The SAE J1321 Type II test undoubtedly proved that CerMet improved efficiencies and significantly reduced fuel consumption under extreme in-service use. This procedure is a rigorous and tightly managed industry standard test to detect and calculate inservice fuel consumption. (It is notable that these test vehicles cargo weight is higher than industry standards and engine idle-time of 2% is lower than the national truck fleet averages. This is not a standard ratio that the trucking industry will use.

results & analysis During the multiple short 60-mile runs of this SAE test, CerMet displayed a remarkable 2.26% decrease in fuel consumption, under extreme load, several starts and stops, virtually no idling and no partial and/or lighter loads. It is easy to understand why CerMet, in the real world, provides fuel consumption decrease averages between 5% and 15% with the introduction of longer runs, partial and/or lighter loads, fewer starts and stops, and higher industry average idling as explained in detail below. When these items are introduced Please note that the SAE J1321 Type II test procedure is not designed for CerMet’s lengthy break-in period. Typically, it takes about two thousand miles for CerMet to complete its protective coating and “peak” in its performance.

independent field test, re: sae j1321 type ii test continued CerMet works best when internal friction losses are a bigger part of the overall resistance equation. For example, when fuel energy is being used in an extreme heavy load situation, such as heavy equipment, the majority of the resistance is gravity and heavy load; not internal friction. Contrarily, when a large mass is already moving at 60 mph, the mass has momentum and internal friction is a much larger part of the resistance equation; and since CerMet ceramic conditioner significantly reduces this friction, the overall mechanism increases in efficiency and thus reduces fuel consumption. Ultimately, longer runs allows CerMet to provide a larger reduction of fuel consumption percentage as compared to the 60 mile SAE Test runs with several starts and stops. Additionally, when an engine or mechanism is on-idle or under constant load or lighter load, several other resistance elements are also removed from the equation and internal friction losses becomes the largest resistance factor.
