Improve the Wear Resistance of Motorsports Parts

In the racing industry, it is not unusual to see a high level of wear in parts that are subject to friction. As the parts rub against each other over time a thin layer of material can be removed. This will result in less efficiency and in some cases lower horsepower and torque figures.

A piston moving up and down in an engine block will wear. This will eventually lead to blow by which will cause the engine to lose actual horsepower and torque. In racing application, this can be a big issue. Therefore, between races, wear items are fixed and or replaced.

Cryogenic treatment improves wear resistance characteristics. The amount of friction is reduced between the moving parts. This allows motorsport engines to keep their high rates of horsepower and torque. Blow by will be reduced and in some cases eliminated. This means that tuned cars will retain performance with age rather than see it dwindle over time.

Cryogenic Treatment for Racing and Automotive Parts

In the recent weeks, I have seen a jump in interest regarding cryogenic treatment for automotive parts. Many of these customers have a lot of questions, and we are more than happy to answer them.

Cryogenic treatment works on many different racing components. But many ask why would one want to have their parts cryogenically treated? There are several different reasons. Your parts will last longer. The residual stresses in the material will be relieved, which will result in a more uniform grain structure. This reduces the chance of failure within your part. The parts will also have a higher resistance to wear.

I can tell you that we have treated many crankshafts, transmission gear sets, pistons with rings, and connecting rods this year. There are many other applications for the racing industry, that can be seen here, http://www.nitrofreeze.com/services/conventional-cryogenic-treatment/motor-sports-fleet/. There are other parts we can cryogenically treat as well, just call and we will be glad to help.
