Hey all,
dug around a bit after cryogenics was brought up recently.
wondering if anyone has had parts done or considered it?
a few links.
the company trying to flog it off..
http://www.metal-wear.com/index.htm
an article/ad they put in a journal, written by their employees.
http://www.metal-wear.com/Articles/Heat%20Treat%20 Progress.pdf
metallurgical fact is that it can help with transforming retained austenite into martensite, after quench/temper heat treatments. this is successfully used, and has been proven by research, to work for things like gear teeth and hardened shafts, cam lobes, diff gears.. anything steel based that has surface hardening.
what these guys claim is that everything is improved by the treatment..
their claims that byt treating both brake pads and brake rotors, you get '2-3 times the life' out of both items, whilst giving 'better feel' at the same time. even 'increased efficiency' from alternators! the brake discs may well be true if they are surface hardened, but....
they acknowledge that although there is no research to back up most of their claims, it must work because more people are using it!! (like 50%+ of NASCAR teams)
anyways, what have other ppl heard about it?
Cya, Stewart
