Cermet Coating
So I'm looking to get my housings Cermet coated. I have cash in hand and ready to ship...
The problem is, I can only find 2 places that can do it and both wont do it.
REC Services | Ceramic & Cermet Coatings
Rotatory Engine says they are selling what is in stock and then not doing it any more. Of course, they don't have any housings in stock that I need. They have FD housings.
J.H.B. Performance - Cermet-Coated Rotary Engine Components
J.H.B Performance says "Unfortunately, I cannot cermet coat your housings right now, we are no longer doing custom or small batches of rotor housings. I do have 1 renesis rotor housing available for sale @ $800 if you are interested." 1 housing, only if they had 2 lol.
I'm kinda at a stand still on what to do. The Cermet was part of my rebuild plan.
Do any of you know a place that will do the cermet coating?
Thanks for any help or input.

From what I have researched, it wont eat any seal faster then OEM. The coating has better properties then OEM.
Free's up HP just on the fact it holds oil. The OEM chrome doesn't hold any oil. The Cermet is more pliable, meaning it wont chip or flake. It is more durable, wont ware as fast as the chrome, plus it holds oil so the ware factor decreased more.
It is the same coating they used in the 24 hour LeMans winning 787B racecar.
To me, its a must try. And I need new housings. Cheaper then buying new ones. The process involved is removing the chrome and replacing it with Cermet.

Original Turbo 'd Auto !!
have you looked into either microblue or polydyn coatings?
Microblue > MicroBlue Racing Services | Rings Pinions Transmissioins Pistons Turbochargers Injector Pumps| High Efficiency Bearings
I know a few here have used it on irons, bearings and turbo parts.
PolyDyn > Performance Coatings by PolyDyn
also have been used by some here on irons, bearings, turbine housings, and hot side components.
Now I personally don't know if either product has been used on the housing surface. Since its a chrome alloy, that may be why. Like I said, I just don't know.
