Work... Oh ya, that's what I do here! I try to have a nice balance of work (switch design engineer) and clubrsx research! All right, I'll do some work also and check back in an hour!
As promised here I am.
Okay now first and foremost: Cryo treating
Very debatable subject some love it some hate it. My opinion on cryo is simply this and I'm quite well backed when I say that cryo treatment when used in the right application is wonderful thing. Anything that has to withstand extreme heat it works awesome such as valves! Tractor pullers use them like crazy! I'm sure everybosy has seen those fire breathing beasts! Other applications such main caps, cranks it works well for.
Now, that being said we're going to venture on over to gears, final drives or ring and pinion for the rear wheel guys and AWD too. These tend to take a lot of impact from shifting, launching etc...
I'm sure everyone has seen the catastrophes that can happen. Here's the issue cryo treatment itself works, but it tends to make the core of the metal brittle not necessarily the outer fiction edge making it more prone to impact fractures. That's why you hear a lot of when somebody loses something in a gear box or rear end it normally exploded or looks like it did because more or less the impact crossed with the friction and heat exterted from it broke from the inside out and BANG you're out a gearbox.
Alright now take your best metal finish or any for that matter and magnify it at 1000X there tons of rifts and valleys do to the metalugry process which up until this point were practically unavoidable.
Take your best machine (CNC) made billet finish and do the same test. You'll see that there is a difference yes although not as much as you would expect.
Cryo doesn't not eliminate these rifts and valleys just hardens them to make them more pronounced. Every ridden in cryo trannies? Especially straight cut gears? you'll notice there is a difference before and after in the sound of the operation.
Mikronite technologies originally developed this for heart valve finishing in an enviroment where surface tension ans finish are impairitive. Then to aerospace and finally here we are.
this has been being tested in top fuel for over two years. Ever notice when guys started going faster all the sudden and not having as many failures? Think about it.
Thus far no one has been able to find the physical limitation of this stuff. ring and pinions that were lasting one event are now making it almost a whole season! Tons of info like that everywhere.
All the ProFWD guys have it whether they say it or not. Trust me.
Anyway down to brass tax what the micronite effectively does brings the rifts into the valleys and smoothes the entire surface without effecting the original molecular orientation of the metal istelf which up until this time was unheard of. Yes, Liberty is offering it but, more on a big time comptetive level. I'm offering it to the everyday street warriors so you can remedy some of the problems of building a daily driven street demon and rip 3rd and 4th with no worries.
I'll continue. This should get some questions flowing.:weeeeeeeeee:
