[Fot] nitrided crankshaft in TX - found and *NEED SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED*

[don at dcphotos.com]

OK so Greg Blake was holding out on me but Duncan spilled the beans!
Here’s what I’ve found out so far. Texas Heat Treating, inc  800 580-5884 <tel:800%20580-5884> in Round Rock can/will nitride a crank for $200
It seemed like it was based on length of crank.


He did ask me some questions I need to ask of the list:

1. what is a 1296 small journal crank made of?  ( I told him 1960’s British iron , but that didn’t help)

2. what is the current Rockwell # of a 1296 small journal factory crank?

3. How deep do I want the nitride to penetrate? I believe he said .010 -.020 is normal. I THINK that’s what he said, so if that’s not correct that’s on me.


Thanks in advance, 
Don
