What I was thinking about was whether the relative cool fuel mixture intake impinging on the hot rotor housing material might cause sufficient thermal stress to cause it to flake. Probably no practical way to test for that.   A more drastic test might be to heat up a coated rotor and spray it with water mist.

Impressive, Ernest

My only concern would be whether adherence of the material to the rotor is up to snuff.  Perhaps bake a "trashed" rotor and subject it to torment and torture?
What sort of "torment and torture" would you suggest?  Marriage, followed by waterboarding?  8*)
