XADO Revitalization - "bringing back to life"

The word revitalization (Latin. vita - life) can be literally interpreted as "bringing back to life". The discovery of the revitalization phenomenon is based on unique physical and chemical processes, as a result of friction, which occurs under specific conditions. In brief, the essence of the phenomenon is as follows: when a mechanism is operating, stress is formed on the friction surfaces. Under high load excessive thermal energy is released destroying and wearing parts. However, if a unique building material - revitalizant, is introduced to the friction area, it converts the excessive energy to form a new coating. Therefore from friction's destructive energy positive conditions are formed. The energy of destructions turns into the energy of creation!

Imagine a tree on the edge of a brink. The soil erodes under

influence of the wind and water, and the roots of tree

become exposed. The binding between the tree and the

soil becomes very weak and a strong wind can easily uproot

the tree.

The same process occurs with the metal surface when it

wears. The atoms easily break away and the destruction of

the surface begins. Moreover, the whole groups of atoms

can break away under extreme loads. This results in a cata_

strophic wear.

How wear and tear usually occurs

Let's consider the friction surface under normal operating conditions. We can see clear traces of wear and tear. If you look closely: the marked area is the area of abnormal surface activity. Here, the metal atoms have an

uncompensated double bond: such atoms can easily be "grabbed", "loosen" and "torn" away from the matrix by increasing stress.

Metal can be rebuilt!

With the discovery of revitalization, the scientists found out that it is possible to reverse the process of wear, pro tect and restore the worn surface! It turned out that it is

possible to create the conditions, where a part can gain a new protective surface with high anti wear properties. To create such conditions, a specially synthesized substance -  revitalizant should be placed in the area of friction. It contains the construction material for the new surface and the unique energetic activator that will enable the excessive friction energy to create a new metalloceramics coating.

Rebuilding process

Revitalization starts in the areas of excess stress (area of the maximum wear), this is the area, which has sufficient amount of excessive energy to start a new process, and

the metal atoms have largest amount of free (uncom_pensated) bonds (1).

These bonds, like magnets, seize and retain the construction material- revitalizant. As the stress starts, the energetic activator collects the excessive thermal energy and directs it to construct the protective layer. Thus, a new coating is formed on top of old surface (2,3). Several minutes after the beginning of the revitalization, a metalloceramics patch appears in place of a scratch. The area of abnormal activity disappears. Energetic processes stabilize, and the coating growth stops (4). Simultaneously, a mutual diffusion of two substances (metal and metalloceramics) takes place, which completes formation of the new coating, cements it, and removes the defect once and for all. With time the new coating becomes more and more reliable.
