Re: Cryo-Tempering

[jlandry@domain.elided (John A. Landry)]

Oh... and I found this on the One Cryo web page...

[begin excerpt]
Deep cryogenic tempering is a permanent, one-time stress relief process
that creates a more dimensionally stable part, which surface is smoother,
more uniform, reducing friction, heat, fatigue and breakage, resulting in
longer lasting parts, increased horsepower, torque and increased trips to
the winners circle.   

ALL machining should be performed AFTER the deep cryogenic tempering
process. This includes decking, boring, honing and polishing. All coatings
and any other finishing process should be completed AFTER the cryo process.
ALL parts and engines MUST be fully disassembled, (kart engines may be
treated with head and side cover on) with ALL Stress (torqued bolts)
removed or loosened (finger tight) BEFORE shipping to One Cryo.

We do not do any disassembly work. ALL parts must be clean and lightly
oiled prior to shipping. For tooling, cryo treat before re-sharpening.   

Remove ALL plastic and/or rubber parts. Remove all plastic packaging
material. All bearings should be removed and packaged separately. Protect
ALL parts by wrapping each part in two layers of newspaper and secure each
part by wrapping one piece of masking tape around the circumference of each
part. Place ALL Aluminum parts in a box Marked "A" for Aluminum and ALL
Steel parts in a box marked "S" for Steel. If parts are a combination of
"A" and "S", mark box "S/A". For ALL other material such as Titanium, mark
the outside of each box with description of contents.
