Here's a little info about how cryogenic freezing of engine and suspension parts can dramatically improve their life and durability. www.engine-machining.com (949) 631-6376

  • How do I get one of those systems?

  • @ANUBISDYNAMICS - Make one.

  • The process is used on aluminum parts all the time, you just don't get the same bennifits as you do in iron-based metals. Still, it's a process that should be done on performance parts, and others.

  • How long does the metal need to remain below 300 and does this process improve aluminum parts?

    Thanks John

  • The soaking process takes 24 hours and then into an oven @ 200-300 degrees for another 12 hours.

  • Doesn't it make you wanna smack it with a hammer just to see if it will shatter?

  • lol thats a huge cam!

  • There are no scientific papers on this subject that I can find. Wiki has no info of any meaningful mechanism, theiir only references were the industry itself, where is some indipendant proof?

  • -300 Degrees F is = -184.4 Degrees C

    Nowhere near absolute zero.

  • @ANUBISDYNAMICS

    You can buy them from Cryotron Cryogenic Equipment, Russells technical Products, DMP CryoSystems and many others.

    You can find other dealers with a little online research.

  • @thenextbigone where did I said that with those substances absolute zero can be reached? quote O_o

  • @hydrogenix actually absolute zero can't be reached with either of those substances.

  • @ANUBISDYNAMICS try liquid nitrogen

  • In United States they usually use Farengeit instead of celcius. So for all of you smartasses who learned to google for an absolute zero temperature, -300 degrees is iqual to (rounded) 180 below zero in celcius scale. And that temperature is reached with nitrogen or helium. Read before posting stupid stuff. By the way, what modifications on the metal structure can be reachid with cryo-treatment? Thanks
