History

• The scientific basis of cermets the technology
  used to develop XADO is not new. It has been
  researched for decades worldwide. One region that
  is known internationally for the study and
  advancements of cermets is the Ukraine, the home
  of XADO.
• Discovered by Soviet scientists when they were
  researching deep hole drilling more than 50 years
  ago.
• Naturally occurring mineral compound of the site
  was creating a chemical reaction that
  strengthened and sharpened the drill bit rather
  than showing the usual dulling action.
• Soviet government spent years researching
  ceramic-metals, ceramic-metals layers and
  possible applications through esteemed research
  facilities like the Institute for Problems of
  Materials Science, National Academy of Sciences
  of Ukraine, Kiev with several scientific papers
  published by renowned scientist I.N. Frantsevich.
• When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, the
  technology was made available to the public along
  with many of their technological discoveries.
• In that same year, XADO was launched and began
  work on practical commercial and consumer
  applications. By 1996, they refined the
  technology and began the consumer testing and
  approval process. XADO was introduced to the open
  market by 1999.

The Results of XADO Research

• The result of years of scientific research is
  the creation of a ceramic-metal surface through
  our patented XADO process
• Initial Conditions
• Initially the friction surfaces consist of
  microscopic relief peaks and recesses, clogged
  with various products of oil and additive
  decomposition (Fig.1).
• During operation, loading brings these surfaces
  together microscopic relief peaks rupture the
  films formed by the oil and additives, make
  direct contact with one another and increase
  friction. As a result, these peaks break and
  contribute some microscopic metal particles to
  the oil, which also act as contaminants. At
  peak-breaking points, microscopic flashes occur,
  which oxidize oils and additives, creating more
  contaminants (Fig.2).
• The next friction and contact episode will
  involve breaking of further micro relief
  projections, adding more contaminants to the oil.

Super finish operation and final grinding of XADO
particles by the micro relief projections

• Compared with the micro relief peaks and recesses
  XADO particles appear quite large (Fig.3).
• The micro relief peaks, like teeth of a mill,
  grind the XADO particles to nano-scale and cause
  the microscopic fusion and welding processes to
  intensify, as a large amount of the micro relief
  peaks get broken by contact with XADO particles.
• At the peak-breaking points, high temperature
  (900-1200ºC) flashes result in microscopic
  metallurgical processes.
• This action causes a substitution reaction
  leading to new crystal growth. The remaining
  metal mass quickly transfers the heat away from
  the contact zones, allowing crystallization.
  (Fig.4).
• These micro relief peaks form the first areas of
  a metal-ceramic protective coating.
• In the course of grinding, the particles are
  being ground down to an elementary state, which
  already possess a definite structure.
• Later on, during the final grinding, a mechanical
  removal of contaminants occurs from the micro
  relief recesses.

Clearing the micro relief of the contact spots of
the friction surfaces

• The special structure of XADO particles (now at
  nano-scale from the grinding process) and
  appropriate additions to the XADO compound are
  better capable of cleaning the micro relief peaks
  than available detergents.
• In the course of cleaning the micro relief peaks,
  a large quantity of previously packed and lapped
  contaminants are being dumped into the oil
  (products of decomposition and deterioration of
  lubricants).
• Large quantities of these contaminants can
  greatly affect efficiency where there are close
  tolerances and heavy loads. In heavy
  contamination cases, the oil should be changed.
• XADO will clean the micro relief peaks of
  practically all contaminants (additives, friction
  modifiers, metal conditioners). Under normal
  conditions, in about an hour of operation with
  XADO, you will observe changes in the performance
  of the mechanism.

Work hardening of XADO by tight packing into
recesses of the micro relief of friction surfaces

• Tight contact of XADO particles with each other
  and the surface layer metal is provided by
• Absolute adhesiveness of XADO nano-particles
• Orientation of the particles in the direction of
  the least mechanical resistance.
• On the friction surface, microscopic
  electromagnetic fields orient XADO nano particles
  in the direction of least resistance.
• The crystals begin to penetrate the crystal
  lattice of the surface, becoming part of it.
• At the same time, the micro relief peaks pack the
  particles on contact.
• As a result of work-hardening, the surface
  becomes harder than the metal on which XADO is
  being used (Fig.5).

New Crystal Growth

• XADO gives more efficient wear protection than
  any standard lubricant or additives can provide.
• The heat release at the surface is dramatically
  reduced and the oil wedge, though contaminated,
  is more effective.
• Due to work-hardening, complete bonding of the
  XADO nano particles with the metal of the
  near-surface layer takes place. In the presence
  of catalysts, energy is produced and new crystals
  are formed with a more spatial crystal lattice
  (Fig.6).
• The resulting bulk of the crystals start to
  "lift" over the surface of the contact spot and
  make up for wear. The remaining XADO particles
  accumulate on the surface of the forming layer
  and level it off.
• The thickness of the layers is proportional to
  the quantity of the particles work-hardened into
  the relief micro recesses, and to the energy,
  released due to friction and contact, i.e. is a
  function of wear (Fig.7).
• The layer thickness is regulated automatically.
  As long as the friction and contact energy
  exists, the layer keeps growing.
• The growth results in compensation of clearances
  and reduction of the energy release on the
  surface. All this leads to termination of the
  substitution reaction and inhibits further
  growth.

Size Matters

• While the microscopic XADO particle size is
  extremely small, it still makes a big difference.
• Each product containing XADO Revitalizant is
  specifically engineered to work in the mechanical
  environment listed on the label.
• The XADO particle size varies to work within the
  exacting tolerances of a given system.
• We do not recommend that you use our products
  interchangeably.
