Some cool technology filtering down from the NHRA ranks . I cant afford $700 axles , so Im likely gonna try this this spring with a set of stock axles . Also with seeingly alot of cars that will be testing the limits of the F35 trans ( hint ....it a very strong trans with the exception of the iron input and output shafts ) , this may buy ALOT of strenght treating the input and output shafts in the transmission . Im all too familiar with the glass jaw 7.5 ring gear in the f-bodies and their test car was a 2000 firebird with a built engine and 200 shot of spray , 3.73 ring gear and a 6-speed to boot . The car broke the ring gear on average ever 6-10 passes . After the treating it went 40 passes without fail then removed and inspected . Gear pattern was perfect and the ring gear was still looked brand new . They averaged 28* cooler differtial temps and the car made 13 more RWHP . That right there is enuff to pique my interest .
What is MIKRONITEŽ
MikroniteŽ is the brand name for a surface finishing process that strengthens, smoothes and polishes materials to enhance their performance.
In other words, MikroniteŽ improves sharpness, durability, lubricity and impact resistance while reducing friction, resistance and corrosion.
What Is The Process?
The MikroniteŽ process is based on a simple concept of applying lapping-like scratching under extremely high compression. Objects are placed in a fluidized medium containing an abrasive in a specially designed reverse centrifugal accelerating agitator. The medium is non-caustic and generally organic.
As the objects are revolved, they are subjected to massive G forces so that very fine particles --- as small as dust --- operate multiple times their mass and weight. To solve the problem of static revolving forces --- because centrifugal forces spin things away from the center --- the reverse centrifugal forces cause a wave-like motion creating a sinusoidal agitation.
Once accelerated, the medium slides uniformly across the object's surface with controlled and even distribution of pressure.
How Does It Work?
The MikroniteŽ process works by compressing the exterior surface of an object to reduce slip planes. To understand slip planes, visualize a brick wall which usually cracks along a line that looks like a staircase. This fracture line is a slip plane. By compressing or meshing those relatively straight lines, the MikroniteŽ process puts them in a tongue and groove or interwoven relationship.
This produces molecular-level changes to the surface of an object without changing its size, shape or metallurgy. The depth of this change can be controlled for the best blend of hardness and ductile properties. For example, it is usually desirable to make the exterior harder and leave the interior ductile so the material has the best of flexibility and strength without brittleness.
What Is The Result?
As a result, surface characteristics of an object are extremely optimized making them harder, smoother, more polished, more uniform and more corrosion resistant with higher lubricity and less friction.
What MikroniteŽ is NOT
MikroniteŽ is solely a mechanical action process. It is not a coating, and it does not involve an active heat process nor caustic chemicals of any kind.
