Heat treating ring and pinion

Tom Young · 05-08-2021, 03:38 PM

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.

How is that done, and where?

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.

I have good results from Microblue in Denver NC Have several hundred runs on a Dana 44 and it looks like new.

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

Tom,

Depending on the brand and supplier, it could be already heat treated.
