Think of it this way and it is marketing genius.  Most times, when an
engine goes in a plain old non-exotic, it is well past its prime and the
decision to replace the car is easier. Provide a cost-effective reason keep
it and buy more "Original Ford Parts" to keep the rest of the car running.

In 60 years we could be a 21st century Cuba with no American cars after
2016.  Brilliant!

      Think of it this way and it is marketing genius.A  Most times, when
   an
      engine goes in a plain old non-exotic, it is well past its prime and
      the decision to replace the car is easier. Provide a cost-effective
      reason keep it and buy more "Original Ford Parts" to keep the rest
   of
      the car running.
      In 60 years we could be a 21st century Cuba with no American cars
   after
      2016.A  Brilliant!

        A  A  A When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is usually
        pulled from
        A  A  A the vehicle and scrapped. Ford wants to change that by
        utilizing a
        A  A  A high-tech plasma process to remanufacture broken engines.
        The process
        A  A  A reduces carbon emissions by about half when compared to
        making a new
        A  A  A engine to replace the old one, and results in a like-new
        engine
        A  A block.

        A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [4]The process
        being used was originally
        A  A  A developed for engine performance enhancement
        A  A  A The goal is to extend the performance of a vehicle by
        lengthening its
        A  A  A lifespan, thus reducing its overall environmental
   footprint.
        It ties
        A  A in
        A  A  A with other research being done by Ford to include
        [5]vegetable fibers
        A  A  A in plastics and soy fibers in foam and cloth.
        A  A  A The process was originally developed for engine
   performance
        A  A  A enhancement, says Juergen Wesemann, manager of Vehicle
        Technologies
        A  A and
        A  A  A Materials, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering. The
        Plasma
        A  A  A Transferred Wired Arc (PTWA) thermal spray process applies
   a
        coat to
        A  A an
        A  A  A engine block which helps bring it back to original
        condition. This
        A  A  A removes the need for additional heavy parts.
        A  A  A [6][cid:[1]image005.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
        A  A  A PTWA works by basically creating "paint" out of metallic
        materials. A
        A  A  A wire feedstock is first fed into a highly-charged cathode.
        This
        A  A  A atomizes the feedstock, which is then sprayed onto a
   surface
        with
        A  A  A forced gas. The high kinetic energy of the particles means
        that they
        A  A  A flatten on impact with the surface of the target. They
   then
        quickly
        A  A  A harden. This has the effect of both depositing even
   amounts
        of
        A  A material
        A  A  A onto a surface and of "leveling" the surface by naturally
        filling in
        A  A  A pits and gouges.
        A  A  A In most PTWA processes, varied materials will be used to
        build
        A  A  A multi-layer coatings. When witnessed first hand, the
   plasma
        coating
        A  A  A process looks similar to spray painting, but with a bright
        light
        A  A where
        A  A  A the paint emerges.
        A  A  A The plasma coating process itself is not new. It's been a
        key
        A  A  A ingredient for making aluminum engine blocks that can
        withstand
        A  A  A repeated pressure without a cast iron sleeve in the
   cylinder
        bores.
        A  A In
        A  A  A the automotive manufacturing process, PTWA has become a
        common
        A  A element.
        A  A  A High-end vehicles such as the Nissan GT-R and Ford Mustang
        GT500
        A  A Shelby
        A  A  A utilize plasma coating to improve friction surfaces and
        reduce
        A  A weights
        A  A  A by adding strength to parts made of lighter-weight
        materials.
        A  A  A [7][cid:[2]image006.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
        A  A  A For remanufacturing, pioneering use of plasma coating
   began
        with
        A  A  A Caterpillar and others in the diesel engine realm, using
   it
        to
        A  A  A refurbish high-mileage or high-use engine blocks that
   would
        otherwise
        A  A  A be very expensive to replace. PTWA can be used on cast
   iron,
        A  A aluminum,
        A  A  A or nearly any other metal or alloy.
        A  A  A The process for Ford is to take worn, high-mileage engines
        and use
        A  A  A plasma coatings to refurbish and repair the engine block,
        especially
        A  A  A the cylinders, as the first step towards creating a
   like-new
        engine
        A  A  A that can be used again.

      Think of it this way and it is marketing genius.A  Most times, when
   an
      engine goes in a plain old non-exotic, it is well past its prime and
      the decision to replace the car is easier. Provide a cost-effective
      reason keep it and buy more "Original Ford Parts" to keep the rest
   of
      the car running.
      In 60 years we could be a 21st century Cuba with no American cars
   after
      2016.A  Brilliant!

        A  A  A When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is usually
        pulled from
        A  A  A the vehicle and scrapped. Ford wants to change that by
        utilizing a
        A  A  A high-tech plasma process to remanufacture broken engines.
        The process
        A  A  A reduces carbon emissions by about half when compared to
        making a new
        A  A  A engine to replace the old one, and results in a like-new
        engine
        A  A block.

   witnessed
        first-hand, the plasma
        A  A  A coating process looks similar to spray painting, but with

        A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [3]The process
        for Ford involves taking
        A  A  A worn, high-mileage engines and using plasma coatings to
        refurbish and
        A  A  A ...
        A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [4]The process
        being used was originally
        A  A  A developed for engine performance enhancement
        A  A  A The goal is to extend the performance of a vehicle by
        lengthening its
        A  A  A lifespan, thus reducing its overall environmental
   footprint.
        It ties
        A  A in
        A  A  A with other research being done by Ford to include
        [5]vegetable fibers
        A  A  A in plastics and soy fibers in foam and cloth.
        A  A  A The process was originally developed for engine
   performance
        A  A  A enhancement, says Juergen Wesemann, manager of Vehicle
        Technologies
        A  A and
        A  A  A Materials, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering. The
        Plasma
        A  A  A Transferred Wired Arc (PTWA) thermal spray process applies
   a
        coat to
        A  A an
        A  A  A engine block which helps bring it back to original
        condition. This
        A  A  A removes the need for additional heavy parts.
        A  A  A [6][cid:[1]image005.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
        A  A  A PTWA works by basically creating "paint" out of metallic
        materials. A
        A  A  A wire feedstock is first fed into a highly-charged cathode.
        This
        A  A  A atomizes the feedstock, which is then sprayed onto a
   surface
        with
        A  A  A forced gas. The high kinetic energy of the particles means
        that they
        A  A  A flatten on impact with the surface of the target. They
   then
        quickly
        A  A  A harden. This has the effect of both depositing even
   amounts
        of
        A  A material
        A  A  A onto a surface and of "leveling" the surface by naturally
        filling in
        A  A  A pits and gouges.
        A  A  A In most PTWA processes, varied materials will be used to
        build
        A  A  A multi-layer coatings. When witnessed first hand, the
   plasma
        coating
        A  A  A process looks similar to spray painting, but with a bright
        light
        A  A where
        A  A  A the paint emerges.
        A  A  A The plasma coating process itself is not new. It's been a
        key
        A  A  A ingredient for making aluminum engine blocks that can
        withstand
        A  A  A repeated pressure without a cast iron sleeve in the
   cylinder
        bores.
        A  A In
        A  A  A the automotive manufacturing process, PTWA has become a
        common
        A  A element.
        A  A  A High-end vehicles such as the Nissan GT-R and Ford Mustang
        GT500
        A  A Shelby
        A  A  A utilize plasma coating to improve friction surfaces and
        reduce
        A  A weights
        A  A  A by adding strength to parts made of lighter-weight
        materials.
        A  A  A [7][cid:[2]image006.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
        A  A  A For remanufacturing, pioneering use of plasma coating
   began
        with
        A  A  A Caterpillar and others in the diesel engine realm, using
   it
        to
        A  A  A refurbish high-mileage or high-use engine blocks that
   would
        otherwise
        A  A  A be very expensive to replace. PTWA can be used on cast
   iron,
        A  A aluminum,
        A  A  A or nearly any other metal or alloy.
        A  A  A The process for Ford is to take worn, high-mileage engines
        and use
        A  A  A plasma coatings to refurbish and repair the engine block,
        especially
        A  A  A the cylinders, as the first step towards creating a
   like-new
        engine
        A  A  A that can be used again.

         Think of it this way and it is marketing genius.A  Most times,
   when
      an
         engine goes in a plain old non-exotic, it is well past its prime
   and
         the decision to replace the car is easier. Provide a
   cost-effective
         reason keep it and buy more "Original Ford Parts" to keep the
   rest
      of
         the car running.
         In 60 years we could be a 21st century Cuba with no American cars
      after
         2016.A  Brilliant!

           A  A Subject: [DeTomaso] whats old is new again
           A  A  A When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is
   usually
           pulled from
           A  A  A the vehicle and scrapped. Ford wants to change that by
           utilizing a
           A  A  A high-tech plasma process to remanufacture broken
   engines.
           The process
           A  A  A reduces carbon emissions by about half when compared to
           making a new
           A  A  A engine to replace the old one, and results in a
   like-new
           engine
           A  A block.

      engine
           fails or becomes very

           A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [2]When
      witnessed
           first-hand, the plasma
           A  A  A coating process looks similar to spray painting, but
   with

           bright

           A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [3]The
   process
           for Ford involves taking
           A  A  A worn, high-mileage engines and using plasma coatings to
           refurbish and
           A  A  A ...
           A  A  A .A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  A  [4]The
   process
           being used was originally
           A  A  A developed for engine performance enhancement
           A  A  A The goal is to extend the performance of a vehicle by
           lengthening its
           A  A  A lifespan, thus reducing its overall environmental
      footprint.
           It ties
           A  A in
           A  A  A with other research being done by Ford to include
           [5]vegetable fibers
           A  A  A in plastics and soy fibers in foam and cloth.
           A  A  A The process was originally developed for engine
      performance
           A  A  A enhancement, says Juergen Wesemann, manager of Vehicle
           Technologies
           A  A and
           A  A  A Materials, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering. The
           Plasma
           A  A  A Transferred Wired Arc (PTWA) thermal spray process
   applies
      a
           coat to
           A  A an
           A  A  A engine block which helps bring it back to original
           condition. This
           A  A  A removes the need for additional heavy parts.
           A  A  A [6][cid:[1]image005.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
           A  A  A PTWA works by basically creating "paint" out of
   metallic
           materials. A
           A  A  A wire feedstock is first fed into a highly-charged
   cathode.
           This
           A  A  A atomizes the feedstock, which is then sprayed onto a
      surface
           with
           A  A  A forced gas. The high kinetic energy of the particles
   means
           that they
           A  A  A flatten on impact with the surface of the target. They
      then
           quickly
           A  A  A harden. This has the effect of both depositing even
      amounts
           of
           A  A material
           A  A  A onto a surface and of "leveling" the surface by
   naturally
           filling in
           A  A  A pits and gouges.
           A  A  A In most PTWA processes, varied materials will be used
   to
           build
           A  A  A multi-layer coatings. When witnessed first hand, the
      plasma
           coating
           A  A  A process looks similar to spray painting, but with a
   bright
           light
           A  A where
           A  A  A the paint emerges.
           A  A  A The plasma coating process itself is not new. It's been
   a
           key
           A  A  A ingredient for making aluminum engine blocks that can
           withstand
           A  A  A repeated pressure without a cast iron sleeve in the
      cylinder
           bores.
           A  A In
           A  A  A the automotive manufacturing process, PTWA has become a
           common
           A  A element.
           A  A  A High-end vehicles such as the Nissan GT-R and Ford
   Mustang
           GT500
           A  A Shelby
           A  A  A utilize plasma coating to improve friction surfaces and
           reduce
           A  A weights
           A  A  A by adding strength to parts made of lighter-weight
           materials.
           A  A  A [7][cid:[2]image006.jpg at 01D12E8B.7CA36570]
           A  A  A For remanufacturing, pioneering use of plasma coating
      began
           with
           A  A  A Caterpillar and others in the diesel engine realm,
   using
      it
           to
           A  A  A refurbish high-mileage or high-use engine blocks that
      would
           otherwise
           A  A  A be very expensive to replace. PTWA can be used on cast
      iron,
           A  A aluminum,
           A  A  A or nearly any other metal or alloy.
           A  A  A The process for Ford is to take worn, high-mileage
   engines
           and use
           A  A  A plasma coatings to refurbish and repair the engine
   block,
           especially
           A  A  A the cylinders, as the first step towards creating a
      like-new
           engine
           A  A  A that can be used again.
