I saw this video and thought this could be applied to a banshee tranny or maybe even a sproket!!
im sure you guys can think of many other application for this process.

I wonder if this can be applied to the inside walls of a cylinder...That way they would not get scarred up as often, and would not need to get honed or bored as much, if ever???
It sounds like we could use it almost everywhere, tranny, pistons, crank, etc...

you could have your tranny done on the banshee and that thing would last forever!

I'll tell you what, that was very, VERY interesting.

The only problem....you have to have brand new pieces...or I'd be sending them out a tranny like yesterday.

I wonder what that would do for...pistons for example...

Very cool...

I have used that process before on crankshafts. Mikronite doesn't really have much of a market corner with it, there are alot of folks doing it. It's not worth getting excited about and it does not work on aluminum or Ti despite what people might tell you. :beer:

I figued just that. Since it's a certain type of media it would be good for only a certain range of metals. Aluminum too soft and Titanium too hard. There is a theoretical sweet spot of effectiveness.

yeah no doubt. wonder if they could do chains also.

but it seems like this is the same as cryogenically freezing hard parts. not in process but in performance

As far as steels are concerned, the effect of the treatment is similair to nitriding, thus it increases the surface hardness. If you want to use a treatment like this you need to either be looking to obtain the super finishing or the resigual compressive stress.

If you want a similair effect in Al or Ti, you need to be looking at anodizing, akadizing, etc. These processes will bring the surface hardness up, however I am not sure about the increase in compressive stresses. I will have to read about it today. :cool:

You could also have them Cryo treaded. It is like cold forging
