Smooth, heat-resistant ceramic minimises turbulence in 2011 F1 ‘blown’ exhaust diffuser applications
New smooth surface ceramic minimises airflow disruption for retaining exhaust gas speed through composite structures. Requirement to maintain high speeds to regain losses with banned Formula One double diffuserOXFORD –Zircotec is to offer a new derivative of its heat resistant ceramic composite coating for engineers looking to maintain the higher airflow speeds of exhaust gases that deliver improved downforce. The latest version of the firm’s ThermoHold™ for Composites coating has a smooth surface finish to minimise exhaust gas air flow disruption, enabling F1 teams to optimise their “blown”
