The performance coating for performance parts
UltraCemTM is a multi-functional nickel-boron coating that provides unique benefits for automotive applications: wear, hardness and lubricity. While significantly reducing friction and heat generation, it affords an equal increase in performance and longevity for parts such as brake systems, transmissions, gear and differential assemblies. UltraCemTM further benefits the automotive industry by increasing the durability of tool and dies, wear plates, and numerous other process-critical components.
Applications:
Ring & Pinion Gears - A dynamometer chassis test using UltraCemTM coated ring and pinion gears showed a 12% reduction in energy dissipation due to the coating's low coefficient of friction and the lubricity of the mating surfaces. Gears ran cooler with less friction, increasing the amount of power transferred from axle to wheels, resulting in 10 to 14 additional horsepower.
Axle & Drive Plates - UltraCemTM is race-proven to eliminate wear, decrease friction and allow axle/drive plate assemblies to operate significantly cooler.
Brake Rotors and Caliper Systems - UltraCemTM plated braking systems ran significantly cooler, providing an opportunity for new design and fewer tire problems.
Transmissions - Coating all internal components, such as gears, input/output shafts and shift forks results in smoother operation and shifting. Fully coated transmission realized up to 300% longer life and reduced parasitic horsepower loss due to friction by as much as 31%. One client realized a full 2% increase in fuel efficiency by coating only the thrust plates.
Automotive Tooling, Die Cast and Plastic Injection Molds - The ability to reduce wear and lower friction enables UltraCemTM to replace Hex Chrome in many of these critical applications.
