Cryogenic freezing

[TomKat]

I'm getting a couple of brakes rotors frozen. Anybody have some parts that they want frozen? It's cheaper if the order is bigger.

[TSi_II]

Yeah you can freeze me when I die, maybe they'll be able to bring me back to life by then.

What kind of difference will it make for your brakes?????

[EVILUTION]

You should have bought them in the fall and simply left them outside all winter.

I got some dry ice would that work?

The process makes the metal much stronger.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

whats the cost per rotor?

If you would have mentioned this a little sooner I would have had a bunch of motor parts to take in.

You should have bought them in the fall and simply left them outside all winter. agreed. does that work? cuz i got a big freezer in the basement that i'd only charge you $2/day to store your parts in it!! no matter how many parts!! as long as it all fits in there, it's the same price!!

there are a ton of ways to make metal stronger...

[speedyshelby]

So what about dry ice? Is it too cold?

Doesn't cryogenics freeze down to below -400*F or something rediculous like that????

I don't know. Ask Han Solo.

[EVILUTION]

^LOL .... I honestly don't believe all the hype. I think you fuxxers are being taken!

Yeah that's about right. Going that cold will force the atoms to realign into a more crystalline type structure and increase rigidity and stability.

[devlish]

bummer TK, my freezer only goes to -12'. can't help ya much, sorry.

[VPT]

Its -300

you realize you could do this very cheaply yourself....liquid nitrogen reaches roughly 320 below zero...that being said...you could snag some from a gas supplier or from the hospital...all you would need is a coffee thermos to put it in and a container to use when soaking the rotors.

[EVILUTION]

Or you could simply buy regular rotors, forget about the freezing shit, and replace them when needed.

You can't just fill up a container and be good. They have a whole step by step process they go threw to make sure the part doesn't get unevenly cooled or warmed back up. If not done right you can have sever warping, weakening of the metal, and or cracks.

[TomKat]

These are stock parts. Frozen stock parts that will last longer and need replacing less often.

[smuT]

i think you will end up spending the same amount of money in the long run.

[TSi_II]

So your rotors last 10 times as long..... If freezing costs 10 times as much as the rotors, you're only really saving yourself the labor...... Well, that and you get some cool points for having cryogenically frozen rotors.

[TomKat]

It would cost about $40 for two rotors to be treated. Rotors $55 each plus $20 for treatment. I'd expect them to last about twice as long. This would be an experiment on my part. If it works out then great.

[TSi_II]

Oh, that sounds good, it sounded expensive.

[smuT]

do they do animals?
