Anyone know where to get a ring and pinion done? I tried Bobby longfield, but he's never there. My HP60 ring gear lost some teeth after a bit too much throttle.

I thought you went to Hi9's ?


Dean, who goes by 66cjdean on POR, does it. I think his company is Performance Cryogenics, in Lincoln, CA.
 
Out of curiosity, did the 60 ring gear show lots of wear at the top of the drive-side teeth due to deflection?

I just had a R&P shipped to Performance Cryogenics, the rest of the gear looked perfect, I've run it for two years. I'll snap a picture or two of it apart.

Yep Performance Cryogenics, great customer service. 916-434-7245.
He did my Warn shafts.

My front is a HP60
Are you breaking shit again? Damn boy dont hold that skinny peddel so far down.
 
Does anyone else have any info on performance cryogenics in Lincoln, CA? I tried calling them by the number a few posts up and it was the wrong number. I cant seem to find their address either. Thanks

I'm curious about the cryo process. I had my engineering materials class and we discussed the solidification process of the metal and how a finer grain structure is harder. But supercooling a metal after it is already solid? I know very cold metal becomes brittle, is the surface grain structure permanently modified without affecting the integrity of the internal structure?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but cyro happens on the molecular level, it slow and compacts the atoms closer together, resulting in a finer grain structure. I don't belive it makes the part brittle as it does not change the phases present just refines them.

I am not an engineer yet but I do work in the industry. We had to analyze the material used for our pipe racks because of concerns that low temps combined with inherant system vibrations could cause material failure.

I learned a lot about metal properties in my materials class but I want to know about the specific effects of supercooling a material that has already solidified and formed a crystal structure.

If this post makes no sense forgive me for drunk posting again :dunce: .
 
well if used at low temps then the metal could be come brittle, but remember cyro parts are only kept at a certain temp for a period of time then brought back to room or operating temp.
