Revitalizant

Revitalizant (Latin: vita — life, can be literally translated to “bringing back to life”) is a semi-permanent treatment for metals found in automobile engines, transmissions, fuel pumps, and other friction surfaces in industrial and other machines.

The treatment forms a protective cermet or ceramic-metal coating on the friction metal parts of the mechanisms directly during the process of their operation.

The process of the protective coating formation, called revitalization, is based on physical-chemical interaction between surfaces of the parts on the spots of virtual contact covered with revitalizant in a boundary or mixed lubrication mode.

As a result a gradient cermet coating is formed, containing positive compressive stresses all over its depth and concentration of carbon, increasing at the surface (up to the formation of diamond-like structures).

Distinctive feature of the process is a hardening of the coating with its simultaneous growth[3] Used in the manufacture of lubricants, greases and additives.
