Pas grand choses de nouveau a part des problemes personnels back-to-back.
Les rods K1 Technologies 5.180" sont rentré.
Cometic head gasket 0.027" aussi (cadeau de Steph Gab)
Mes Wiseco piston wrist pins sont revenu des Etats-Unis apres un coating DLC de 3-5 μm. Elles sont incroyables!!!!
Je suggere une lecture sur le DLC coating pour les interessés. Dur comme le diamand et glissant comme le teflon!!
La F1, NASCAR et NHRA l'utilisent.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is any of seven forms of amorphous carbon materials that display some of the unique properties of natural diamond. They are usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from some of those properties. All seven contain significant amounts of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. The reason that there are different types is that even natural diamond can be found in two crystalline polytypes. The usual one has its carbon atoms arranged in a cubic lattice, while the very rare one (lonsdaleite) has a hexagonal lattice. By mixing these polytypes in various ways at the nanoscale level of structure, DLC coatings can be made that at the same time are amorphous, flexible, and yet purely sp3 bonded "diamond". The hardest, strongest, and slickest is such a mixture, known as tetrahedral amorphous carbon, or ta-C. For example a coating of only 2μm thickness of ta-C increases the resistance of common (i.e. type 304) stainless steel against abrasive wear; changing its lifetime in such service from one week to 85 years. Such ta-C can be considered to be the "pure" form of DLC, since it consists only of sp3 bonded carbon atoms. Fillers such as hydrogen, graphitic sp2 carbon, and metals are used in the other 6 forms to reduce production expenses, but at the cost of decreasing the service lifetimes of the articles being coated. The various forms of DLC can be applied to almost any material that is compatible with a vacuum environment.
