I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

I believe the coating on the Pankl Ti rods is an oleophilic coating. Ti and steel dont get along together on there own so a coating is needed. The Pankl rods are dipped to coat, you can see where they were hung by the wrist pin, and dipped.
We found an aerospace company thats going to have a look at the 12 paperwieghts we have and see if they can, or will refresh them. We cant get the rods from Pankl because they have an agreement to sell them only to Porsche motorsports. Also the metallurgist mentioned that the Pankl rods should have a more reinforced big end.. |
