What is this stuff supposed to do?
Am always interested in IP, but will dissect it before jumping in
Is it in the super lube, self plating category like molybdenum disulfide and
tungsten disulfide?
Or is it in the plastic category like Slick50?...oh, just found their page and
it is not a polymer, so answers that.
Yes, read your links all the way to their link, but nothing on engine oil other
than it's a ester
Stuff has to be in context or worthless or a negative.
Like the DLC on the CP4 pump discussion where I found that Bosch engineers used
DLC only on one surface where the lube is diesel fuel.
Out of context using DLC in there with a very poor lube like diesel.
Missed is that diamond is one of the best non-stick and thermal conductors known
to mankind (that I know of).
Meaning that a poor lube will have poor film strength (tensile) on regular metal
surfaces (wet it). Worse yet on the best non-stick known to mankind. So NO lube
is filmed on the DLC cam of the CP4 pump. ZERO lube...unless there is treatment
or additive I'm not aware of
Marry that with the unknown 'slipperiness' of DLC surface for a metal cam follower
to run on...
One of the purposes of engine oil is to keep it from going metal on metal by
providing a film of oil for the parts to 'float' on. How does this secret stuff
assist or improve on that?
I know how Molyb, Tungsten and graphite does that, but want to know what their
secret stuff is or how it does it's job on that
