    Cryo - Effect on Diff Metal and Your Exp.?

    So what's the deal on cryo-cobalt, or even the cryo-nitride. I get that the Nitride is just a coating (from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong) but the claims from ALL of the companies I have looked into that cryotreat, specifically say it greatly benefits nearly all metals, not just...

    Cryo - Effect on Diff Metal and Your Exp.?

    https://www.partsmaster.us/SitePages/Products.aspx?Code=0101 Without beating around the bush anymore, here is what I'm looking at. They at least seem to be manufacturing and cryo treating in the US. I have had some contact with costumer service but have not fully committed to becoming a vendor...

To further specify exactly what has led to all the...

    Additives XIII: EMULSIFICATION and DEMULSIFICATION

    Just went back and read the first part of this post, where you already answered "my" version of the question. Originally Posted By: MolaKule In terms of additives, an emulsifier additive promotes the formation of a "stable" mixture or 'emulsion,' say, of oil and water. Many gear lubes do this...

    Additives XIII: EMULSIFICATION and DEMULSIFICATION

    I'm going to say it's a trick question, or at the very least, backwards. To answer your question: Why would you want moisture to be mixed with oil in a gearbox? You wouldn't WANT water mixed with the oil. But in marine gearboxes, it is assumed water will be present at some point, so re-word...

    Cheap Skate, Buy American, or Pure Quality Freak?

    So who'd be interested in a store that you could walk into, and know that every single item you picked up was going to be American made, by an American owned company, and EXCEED all expectations for quality and material. The kind of products you put your hands on and feel the pride that went...
