InnerArmor Coating Minimizes Friction

In auto and other industries, reducing friction can improve operational efficiency in engine components. Independent research has shown that reducing friction leads directly to an improvement in fuel efficiency – of huge importance with the high cost of fuel and emerging government regulations for fuel efficiency. By coating high-friction engine components with relatively thick InnerArmor films, organizations can reduce friction without sacrificing wear life.

 

In applications involving reciprocating action—such as pistons moving inside of cylinders—carbon-based InnerArmor films actually create a graphitic interface layer, which produces a self-lubricating effect! The coating reduces the coefficient of friction to levels as low as 0.01, and wear factors to as low as 10-8 mm3/(Nm).

 

By reducing friction from engine components, InnerArmor coatings can improve engine performance and efficiency, which leads to improved gas mileage. This improvement applies to diesel and gas engines across multiple industries including auto, oil and gas, and more.
