Discovered the material used inside of the rims: It called Polysil

Posted by on Oct 30, 2013 in PRESS | 0 comments

We're talking a lot to a few races of the coating that some top teams are using inside of the rims. A f1analisitecnica received a tip that finally shows us what it is. The material used is a kind of liquid glass with black opacifying pigment that is used to improve the thermal conductivity. The only world producer of this innovative product is the Nanopront and the product is called Polysil. It is a based on atomic silicon coating with revolutionary features that allows the protection of reconditioning the substrate surface structure. With a layer of a few microns high surface hardness (9H) ,the surfaces also have a high resistance all'abrasione.Questa “liquid glass” weighs 95% of a normal painting and has a resistance to temperatures of 1100 ° C. Currently the color coatings of a wheel of Formula 1 weigh from 65 to 85 grams. Thanks to this product the coating weighs only 5 grams and in addition to improving thermal conductivity gave an improvement of 3 points to the CFD as are generated less turbulence.

Mercedes uses Polysil start of the season

Posted by on Oct 30, 2013 in PRESS | 0 comments

We have already talked about the new material “Polysil” used in the coating of wheels, and the fact that for the first time has been used by Mercedes in summer. Mercedes engineers have begun to use the new cover for the rear wheels in the summer, but the front that has been used since the beginning of the season. This coating is designed by Italian company Nanoprom, so far only available exclusively for OZ Racing and its customers.

A new material faces in F1: Polysil + A.D.N.C

Posted by on Oct 30, 2013 in PRESS | 0 comments

After it was first reported in advance by F1analisitecnica, then picked up by other sites, use of Polysil by OZ Racing to paint their rims (Discovered the material used inside of the rims: It called Polysil), we are ready to take another important exclusive.

The Polysil, made by the firm NANOPRO Sassuolo, next season will be used in many air thanks to a special process called A.D.N.C (Dura Anodizzazione, Carbon nanotubes with ag). This particular process that followed will go to explain to replace all the situations in which it is used the hard anodizing and in all those components that need to withstand friction (Cherry, some engine components, change, etc.).
I still do not know if this system will be granted exclusively to only one team or whether it can be used by those who see fit.
Let's go, first of all to explain what is meant by “Anodizing Of aluminum alloys”. Aluminum alloys because of their low hardness have a surface area extremely vulnerable to scratching and abrasive wear, also they tend to oxidize spontaneously triggering even dangerous phenomena of corrosion, it is widely believed that localized (Pitting), for this reason on the bodies of aluminum is expected always a protection : painting,chromium plating,nickel ,anodizing, etc.. The Anodic Oxidation is based alloys for aluminum the protective treatment most congenial and safely between all the others because it is unremovable. In fact, the aluminum of the base is transformed, during the galvanic process, aluminum oxide (Al2O3), generating a protective layer of very hard ceramic type, refractory to heat and unremovable. The crystals of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) They have a structure hexahedral very hard and compact with a capillary hole at the center of the hexahedron which penetrates almost up to the base of the same. Unfortunately, the porosity of the crystals of the anodic oxide constitutes a real defect which limits the applications, especially in cases where the surfaces are subjected to rubbing or must work in corrosive environments since the basis of aluminum is in contact, through the pores, with the corrosive environment outside. Researchers at the company Nanoprom Chemical studied the possibility of sealing the pores of the crystals of the anodic oxides, using a special process using galvanic ions Ag +, transforming what was considered a defect, porosity,in a merit, because they provide small reservoirs for the ions Ag + , thus being uniformly distributed on the surface and permanently present during the wear of the same. It is then seen that the combination of the layer of anodic oxides by sealing the pores with Ag + ions gives coating "ADNC" not only extraordinary properties antibatterio and mold but also other outstanding requirements, in particular, if you create a marriage between technological Polysil of Nanoprom and treatment “CDNA”, You get to have the materials to date unexpected World Industrial:
– Corrosion; – High resistance to abrasive wear; – Antistatic, anti-adhesion and smoothness; – High thermal conductivity and heat loss Without forgetting the high hardness and refractory heat that are characteristics of the anodic oxides. Therefore, the coating ADNC in combination of an appropriate alloy can be considered, by the designers, a real new material and can be a viable alternative to both expensive materials such as titanium alloys or stainless steels or coated steels Coating famous and expensive as TIN - PVD- CVD - Hard chromium - Chemical nickel - nickel-Teflon etc.

After Polysil engineering Sassuolo offers another product to warm up the tires in the warm up

After providing the all'OZ Racing Polysil, the silicon film formed by nanotechnology that allows to retain the heat of the circle with the goal of immediately send heat into the tires in the first lap of each stint (qualifying and race), the NANOPRO, company of Sassuolo, He has already designed an interesting evolution of the theme: the Quantum Radial System. So far the engineers have worked only in the outer face of the rim, but inside the channel, making sure that the heat generated from the brake to dissipate (the wheel comes to temperature peaks which reach the 200 degrees) avoiding that there is disposal quickest possible thanks to the special ducts. With the current Pirelli tires circle has taken a secondary function that Gp Gp after gaining increasing importance.

GLASS LIQUID The application is simple: spraying the “liquid glass” on the rim and create a film of a few microns (touch does not feel any step between the treated and the "naked") that, in addition to ensuring a limited thermal conductivity, associates high abrasion resistance thanks to the surface hardness of this material which also offers a small aerodynamic advantage since it reduces the turbulence generated in the circle for the rotation of the wheel. Without forgetting that the traditional coating of a wheel F.1 requires at least 65 grams of paint, while it only takes Polysil 5 grams!

NANOPROM FORGE OF IDEAS Now the brilliant engineers to Sassuolo Nanoprom directed by Gianluca Falleti studied a new treatment that is aimed at increasing the temperature on the inside of the circle: exclusive image that we propose, indeed, We see the Quantum Radial System that has been sprayed with the power to have a high thermal conductivity. The Opposite of Polysil! The tests carried out have shown a marked improvement of the "warm up" in the circle and consequently of rubber. Also in this case we have been used of nanotechnology (some people think that you are also materials for aerospace and military nature!) but without having as a starting silicon.

THERE 'S ONLY POLYSIL What it is? For now, the curiosity of Q.R.S. can not be satisfied, because the new material is still top secret, but are different teams of Formula 1 who have already shown a great interest in this innovation throughout Italian. What is the temperature rise that can be drawn from this treatment? The experiments are initiated with a gain of five degrees, but tests conducted later are leading to more meaningful values, especially since it would be possible to generate more heat when the designer needs it most.

INTERESTED MANUFACTURERS In short, the feeling is that the Nanoprom not want to be a company that wants to limit to only offer revolutionary products, but also it has the ambition of becoming with its engineering consultant Manufacturers, to develop other applications that can provide performance benefits to the cars that represent the ultimate expression modern technological ...

GP. Korea: Ferrari also use the Polysil

Posted by on Oct 28, 2013 in PRESS | 0 comments

There had already spoken before the Singapore Grand Prix on the use of Polysil the rims to try to bring to the correct temperature in a short time the tires Discovered the material used inside of the rims: It called Polysil. The images seen today in the pits of Korea we can see that Ferrari uses this material that is produced by a company in Sassuolo called Nanoprom. The material used is a kind of liquid glass with black opacifying pigment that is used to improve the thermal conductivity and it is created primarily for the market for the nautical. It is a based on atomic silicon coating with revolutionary features that allows the protection of reconditioning the substrate surface structure. With a layer of a few microns high surface hardness (9H) ,the surfaces also have a high resistance to abrasion. This “liquid glass” weighs 95% of a normal painting and has a resistance to temperatures of 1100 ° C. Currently the color coatings of a wheel of Formula 1 weigh from 65 to 85 grams. Thanks to this product the coating weighs only 5 grams and in addition to improving thermal conductivity gave an improvement of 3 points to the CFD as are generated less turbulence.
