Thanks for the reply jd. We have over 50 programs depending on what type of material we are doing.
The machine is computer controlled with the latest and the greatest. Most programs will follow a 1 degree/minute process, both up and down. Some will be .5 degree/min and some even less at .3 degree/min. depending like I said on the type of material and overall weight/density of the parts. Our average total cycle will be 36 hours. We are NOT doing this to try to crank out parts for a quick profit. We got the unit to do our own stuff, mostly cart racing things like blocks and cranks and rotors, etc and I figured there would be a bunch of guys that could also benefit in the Ford/GM automotive community. Our machine has a range of -300F up to 575F. We have 2 internal blowers in the unit to move the air around so the process will be very consistent and even.
Obviously the most expensive part of this process is the nitrogen. Fortunately I buy huge amounts of nitrogen in gaseous form now so i should be able to secure the best pricing also when it comes to the liquid form.
I am pretty excited. We researched this alot before taking the plunge. Especially with Ford's we expect to do a fair amount of business with rotors and pads seeing as how they are notorious for warping. This process will solve that problem.
I'm doing my whole motor along with most of the moving suspension parts.
I'll be posting pics along the a write-up of the process and pricing.
Should be pretty cool. Pardun the pun.
