Heat treating ring and pinion
Who does heat treating on ring and pinions, or whatever process to make them live longer? Sorry if this has been brought up in the past, I could not find anything.

I would consider cryogenically treating it. Adds life to most anything.

Re: Heat treating ring and pinion
The best would be to purchase a new gear set already heat treated from Mark Williams, Indy Gear or Gleason.
I do not recommend heat treating any used set of ring and gears. If they are used, Cryogenics and REM/Micronite finish. http://www.performancemetal.net https://www.crownracegears.com/heat_treatment.html https://www.300below.com/motorsports/ https://negearpolishing.com/services/rear-axles |

Re: Heat treating ring and pinion
Thanks for the input on this. The ring and pinion are new, but a discontinued ratio that is no longer available.

Re: Heat treating ring and pinion
Tom,
Depending on the brand and supplier, it could be already heat treated. |
