Message	"titanium" or "tungsten" like they imply in the article. The ceramics are oxides of metals, but the article leads the reader to say "ooh, ahhh" to exotic metals like titanium and tungsten. I know a company in Gardena, CA, that I have personally visited (for work and pleasure) that does similar coatings, they do clutches and the like for high-friction and wear/durability. Awesome concept, go ceramics! ;) SS ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I gave (my drivers) three things: a sense of optimism, a creative environment and the ultimate motivator-competition.
