Now noodling why H2O is such a bugga-boo
Cavitation to create a vacuum to vaporize H2O isn't as bad as an air bubble
The air bubble (micro) does ripe off molecules, but vaporizing H2O isn't as
aggressive, or am I wrong?
There must be something else that interacts with that vaporization event(s)
Part of that witches brew (organic amines) ?
Another new thought based on NewsW's comment of high expense of DLC and to drive
selectively plating areas to leave other areas not plated.
Is there an interaction with the H2O vaporization on the non-plated surfaces?
What is/are the non-plated surfaces? Iron/steel/plastic/SS/etc ?
Maybe that then cause debris to then have either or both the cam/follower and
piston/cylinder collide with that debris to then scrape off DLC and/or
interference to gouge ???
