Default Re: nitried or cryo

Jim,

Wouldn't the ultimate solution be to deburr (especially the oil hole), cryo, then shot peen to impart compressive stress? Deburring removes stress risers and small tears. Cryo will stress relieve and improve grain structure. Shot peening will leave the entire outside surface in compression. Nothing fails in compression.

Am I thinking correctly?

Thanks
