Check this out, I figured it was expensive.

Those aren't bad prices at all, and they are located in Alaska-- SCORE!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Just a thought, what in the world does cryogenic tempering do?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Basically, by taking the metal down to extremely cold temperatures, the molecules contract. When brought back up to room or operating temperatures the molecules expand back out and are more evenly distributed. This does a couple of things- 1) relieves internal stresses due to fabrication practices, and 2) gives an excuse to dump more money into your quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

It really does work and can be very effective in prolonging the life of certain parts that are usually heat effected from machining and welding after an initial heat treatment. I'm more of an aero/stability&controls engineer, so someone with more materials experience can probably explain it better.

 

They claim its suposed to make parts 200-300% stronger.

 

I had my 02 gears (the three of them with dogs) cryo'ed by Cryo Science in Southern Ca. for $38 including shipping. I'll never really know if it really helps but I figured what the heck - cant hurt !

 

I should have my oil pump cryod. We have bad luck with pump shafts here. First my warriors and it blew up, then the tranny pump in my moms car (shaft broke, the shaft in my warrior just stripped out) and the tranny went out.

 

Can they do body parts...... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

DUDE, that is a really great idea!!! I will have to remember to do that next year when I plan to replace mine!

 

Ridley, it isn't just about the temperature, it is also how it is cycled. You're not an engineer so I realize it might be a hard concept to grasp. Trust me, it helps. There is plenty of literature floating around on the subject so it shouldn't be hard to read up on if you are really interested with it.
