Ceramics as compared to metals have lower density and higher specific strength.
Ceramic engine parts.
Following a final firing when as fired tolerances are not sufficient fine diamond machining grinding using diamond impregnated cutters is often required.
Some high performance engines might have ceramic parts or coatings usually on exhaustors and on the connecting rod although that s for reducing friction.
Interest in and experimentation with ceramics in the internal combustion engine ice goes way back.
The components in an automobile engine are often made from a range of different materials.
A more efficient engine is a result of proper temperature regulation.
Therefore decrease of the parts weights will increase the engine efficiency.
Some coatings are available to the do it yourselfer but most are being applied by hundreds of professional coating shops worldwide giving everyone the opportunity to benefit from these advanced technologies.
