Well what they tell me is thatby taking the metal down to absolute zero it aligns molecules and increases strength 4 fold that all sounds good but we are talkin mixed metals with H-D cases I was concerned withthe race inserts loosenin up been weak point of cases in the past.We use it in earth moving Eq.makes the teeth last about 3 times as long with out the brittleness of heat treating I have had them do rods for the drag bike but alot reluctant to send in 50 yr old cases!!!!!
