Atomic T25 - a cool $ $2,799

[broncobowsher]

I do know of some "near diamond coatings" used on some engine parts. So there is some existing technology they are leaning on. More than likely they were talking to there plater and asking if they had anything special they could do. Lets stuff some scrap parts in with this production batch for something completely different and see what comes out. Pretty rainbow colors like the kids have on the aftermarket exhaust tips.

When I see that rainbow of colors on metal I just think of it being overheated. Welding, I know what the heat affected zone it. My welds tend to be pretty wide, I know some that can make great welds with a tiny HAZ. I can also think of the chrome exhaust tip on the truck after doing a long hard pull up a mountain. Now I know why they sometimes put an air gap between the actual exhaust and the chrome tip.

You will be surprised how many people are asking about it and waiting for it.

I'll wait for it, I won't buy one, but I'll wait for it.

Yeah, it may fall out of a truck in front of your house right when you are leaving to go diving. It can happen...

"the T25 is a highly-evolved version of the iconic T3 all-Titanium regulator. But it’s designed using even more exotic processes, elevating it into “Diamond” status."



CLOWN FART !!

Exactly my first thought as well!

Has anyone ever had an issue with their regulator not being hard enough? Are we using our regs as drill bits?

Just because you don't know of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Composite Diamond Coating, Wear Resistant Coating, EN-Diamond Plating for Metal Parts at the top of a quick search.

Now if this is a worthy application of such a coating? Probably not. But it does exist. The properties are not bad, just a different way to get to them. And it has the buzz words that marketing can roll with.

How many carats is that?

None. It’s two turnips, a parsnip, and a quarter of a rutabaga.
