I have reviewed all the messages from the foum regarding cryogenic processing of engine parts. However, it lacks good/significant documentation regarding the different processes done.
Does anyone know the source of technical articles regarding this process. There must be some University site with this information. Yes, I have searched the MIT site without success. Anyone have the information? Thanks, L. McChesney |

QUOTE even if it did anything, the effects would be lost the first time you heat-cycled it Everytime you run your engine you heat cycle it.. I know a bit about metalurgy (far from an expert but AWS, ASTM etc seem to think Im ok) Most of the changes in the crystal structure take place when the metal is cooling from a liquid to a solid state... then there are various holds where metals lose the various ferrites ie austentite, martensite etc.... I did alot of searching a few years ago regarding the merits of cryo...... like Dave said alot of anecdotal claims..... no hard #'s.. Having said that I doubt I cryo my $100 rotors I might freeze my crank though... Alot of succesful race teams use it.... |
