I'm looking to get some driveline gears cryo treated and shot peened. Can't seem to find anywhere local but I'm sure they exist.

Anyone?

It's just a 6'' ring and pinion.

You might be thinking of Thermex in Port Kells, right on 96th. I think Vangear bought out that location and now it's Vancouver Heat Treat.

Cryogenenic treating is totally different from heat treating,one is freezing the metal,the other is to heat it up.

Falcon,have you considered the REM process on your driveline parts?

This guy cryo treats and is quite well known in the 4by industry for doing so. http://www.longfieldsuperaxles.com/

Actually they both serve similar purposes. Cryo is just an additional step to heat treating. It also involves heat.
