Federal-Mogul Introduces Sealed Power(R) and Speed-Pro(R) Pistons Featuring THERMOSHIELD(TM) Crown Coating.SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :FDMLQ) has introduced a line of high-strength Sealed Power(R) and Speed-Pro(R) pistons featuring a complex ceramic head coating technology that withstands combustion temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees F and delivers three times the surface hardness of hard-anodized coatings. New Sealed Power and Speed-Pro THERMOSHIELD(TM)-coated pistons are offered in hypereutectic hy·per·eu·tec·tic adj. Having the minor component present in a larger amount than in the eutectic composition of the same components. and POWERFORGED(TM) designs for a variety of popular standard replacement and performance applications. The pistons' advanced THERMOSHIELD crown coating is produced through an immersion process using electrical impulses that convert the piston surface into an extremely strong, smooth and heat resistant complex ceramic. Because the THERMOSHIELD barrier is atomically bonded to the piston substrate, the material is highly resistant to flaking and cracking and provides exceptional protection of even sharp corners. THERMOSHIELD also is well suited as a top ring groove coating for the prevention of micro-welding; and now selected Sealed Power and Speed-Pro pistons include this added feature. Conventional piston crown coating technologies such as hard anodizing anodizing Method of coating metal for corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, thermal control, abrasion resistance, sealing, improving paint adhesion, and decorative finishing. , sprayed ceramics and electroplating electroplating: see plating. electroplating Process of coating with metal by means of an electric current. Plating metal may be transferred to conductive surfaces (e.g., metals) or to nonconductive surfaces (e.g. produce significantly lower surface hardness than the THERMOSHIELD process which is far less resistant to corrosion, cracking, scratching and wear. The use of piston crown barrier coatings is becoming increasingly popular in many demanding performance and other high-temperature applications and the superior hardness of the THERMOSHIELD coating is the leading technology, providing added protection against spontaneous detonation. "THERMOSHIELD is by far the best choice for engine builders who want to maximize performance without overheating Overheating An economy that is growing very quickly, with the risk of high inflation. the pistons," said Raymond King, marketing director, engine components, Federal-Mogul. "This exciting new technology makes hard-anodizing and other conventional crown coating technologies virtually obsolete in terms of strength, durability, finish quality and consistency." Federal-Mogul offers THERMOSHIELD-coated pistons for the following applications: POWERFORGED ----------- 5.4L Ford Lightning p/n L2622F 4.6L Ford (Supercharged) p/n L2623F 540-Cubic Inch Chevrolet p/n LW2633F Hypereutectic ------------- 5.7L Dodge Hemi p/n H899CT 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L GM(a) 3.5L GM(a) 2.2L GM Ecotec(a) (a)Available soon In addition to the THERMOSHIELD crown coating, each new Sealed Power and Speed-Pro piston also features Federal-Mogul's exclusive DUROSHIELD(TM) antifriction skirt coating, which helps eliminate scuffing and other skirt and cylinder wall damage in high-rpm, high-temperature applications.
