I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

that's funny (and not very impressive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ).........believe it or not, there are a few of those on the site here and a few have responded to your questions (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) as for the coating, have you tried calling a few places and ask? I'd try this place Sputtek...worse case is they say no, so you ask if they can recommend something or someplace........ If I was a manufacture of Ti rods and saw this post, I wouldn't be telling any trade secrects. You could also try some other forums, but instead of coming off as a expert machinest in Ti, try being a little humble and just ask a general question on the coating....say you have a set of rods already and you are worried of the galling or something to that effect.... by the way, nice looking part.....I kinda wonder if there would be a market for half finished parts such that...done right it would look cool as a paperweight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |
