it is a cryo treating process. hardens the metal by closing up the tiny little pours in the steel. it makes the gears harder, smoother, and reduces operating friction which means less damaging temperature.
a lot of the DIRT guys use them, M2 builds a lot of their engines with treated parts.
it is technology that is getting big in the over the road truck world. |
mikronite is NOT the same thing as cryo treating. there was a magazine article on it that I just read and its actually like very dontrolled shot peening.
