..The COLDfire
Advantage

Rising from the experimentation and on and off relationships between the performance automotive industry and early cryogenic techniques, the COLDfire performance advantage stands head and shoulders above the rest. 

Test after test has proven that the advantages to automotive parts and components are greatly improved with the application of the patented COLDfire process.  Brakes perform better and longer, engine components experience life and wear increases of three to four times depending on the application.  Better yet the COLDfire advantage is not limited to performance racing. The cost effective treatment is equally at home extending the life and enhancing safety of brakes and engine components on Taxi's and Freight Vehicles as it is winning races.

Some of the automotive advantages include:

Cryogenic Brakes ... the COLDfire Brake Secret

Race Teams the world over are users of COLDfire Brake Rotors remain serviceable 2-3 times longer with less wear
Better Brake Pad wear with improved braking efficiency
Dramatic reduction in warping, cracking and heat checking
Improved heat dissipation and significant decrease in vibration

 Improvement in heat dissipation and minimisation of micro cracking can easily double the performance life of COLDfire treated brakes and pads

Cryogenic Engine Treatment ... the COLDfire Engine Secret

  • Increased Abrasive resistance toughness and tensile strength
  • Increased dimensional stability means increased engine performance and life
  • Higher Horsepower performance and less breakage
  • Internal stress relieving and reduction of vibration with harmonic advantages

Expected results from treating various automotive components

 

Part to be TreatedExpected Results
GearboxesIncreased Tensile Strength and dimensional stability without increased hardness is the key to extended life and performance
SpringsThe strength increase and stress reduction in the metallurgical horror story of spring production means less flattening and retention of the outward spring pressure for much longer performance
AxlesCOLDfire treated axle components demonstrate benefits of longer life and reduced breakage over the entire range of applications
Camshafts & LiftersTreating increases the wear properties and strength of cams and shows less wear on solid lifters and less breakage of roller lifters
Engine BlocksTreatment gives better ring sealing, raises torque and increases engine life by reducing wear on the bores
CrankshaftsOnce treated crankshafts show much less wear and continual racing testing returns far fewer breakages
PistonsTreated pistons , rings and pins resist detonation longer and distort less
Con RodsTreatment provides a marked increases in component life and unit toughness
