Rather than shot pinning. Because aluminum has pores, I'm surprised he didn't try anodizing aluminum in some type of metallic solution. When Aluminum is hit with a current, the pores open and soak up the die. That's where the colors come from on Anodized aluminum
I guess theres company commercializing making it more cheaper maybe you can try flaking though this is only seen on machine ways it creates small pockets for oil to retain and also decreases the area contacted thus reducing friction thiugh i have yet to see people flaking engine oarts to make it glide smoother .I hope i can try this on a small engine to prove flaking can be done on engine sliding parts.
The deposition equipment is not cheap at all but I am pretty sure you can order the coating from companies that do this in big amounts for reasonable price. For example in my country (Czech republic) you can order DLC coating for knives for 13 to 26 dolars. I don't know what type of DLC it is, but I think you can get the idea of the price. For these automotive uses, the coating should be more resistant to higher temperatures which can be done by doping the DLC with tungsten for instance, but these are also pretty common in industry.
I think the story about dinosaurs at the end meshes nicely with the discussion of human machines that burn dinosaur squeezings.
Huge respect for japan
From what i remember, operating temps for DLC is around 500 celsius.
Parts need to be sent to USA for processing.
Even engine bearings can be WPC treated without distortion

How much does it cost to custom DLC coat aluminum parts? Is this pure graphite/carbon?

@@HarleyQuinn-kh1yf well, they are applying DLC on scissors so i guess it is not prohibitively expensive.
but cylinders can be coated as well?
I assume you’re taking about the cylinder bore, and I certainly would be interested in that.
Yeah we in johor already coating the wall and it good fast and economic gasoline
@@natangberuuk1047 what is the name of the coating?
Yes... its called nicasil or diasil....
@@coron1985 WPC.
Top notch!
7:07 dat ozzy accent😭
Now the piston is hard but the cylinder is still just aluminum or it’s possible to coat all the surface of the stroke
Aluminum blocks usually have cast iron or ductile iron cylinder liners.
Hi Michelle. Would you be able to provide details or web site for this company. Thank's.

what is the email of this “WPC” company in japan. i need too email him
