Hello Paul,

 unfortunately you've sent me only my docs + not the picture of the
 sleeping Alturair guys ;-)

 So, if they wonna sleep all the time, ok, we should forget them ...
 ;-)

 Enclosed there is an old patent by Mazda, related to Al side
 housings with some test results. But today there are a lot of
 different / better solutions for hardening / coating ...

 By the way, AVL (Austria) has suggested "PEO" - shall be very hard +
 resistant ... Again a "Plasma wonder" ... ;-)

 With kindest regards

 Franky / Frank Herfert

We will try again.

Paul Lamar.... Merry Christmas



Hi Franky,

Here is a firm in the US offering that service. I wonder if it would work for side plates and the trochoide? Do you have any experience? Has it been tried?

There is also General Magnaplate in NJ that offer hard anodizing coating with Teflon impregnation for low friction. For AL the coating is 'Tufram'. Best is 6061 because of lower silicon content. I have no clue if it would be useful for side plates or the trochoide. The data would suggest yes.  However, they chickened out when I asked, saying it will not work.
