MXRR SUPERFINISHED & DLC COATED COMPONENTS

MXRR offers different transmission and valve train components, processed with ISF and DLC coating. This process is the same used in Formula 1 and all extreme motorsport racing applications.

ISF process:

ISF also known as ISOTROPIC SUPERFINISHING is a patented process that allows to improve dramatically surface characteristics of mechanical components. The ISF removes all surface flaws derived from the machining and creates a non-directional (from Greek “ISOTROPIC”) low Ra surface. This translates into a processed surface without the asperities of the cutting tool.

The ISF process is carried out through polishing the components with special ceramic media, vibrating in equipment and calibrated lubrication with dedicated chemical compounds. The chemistry, which will not generate hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength steel parts, reacts with part surfaces to produce a soft conversion coating. As the parts rolls in the vibratory machine, the conversion coating is wiped from peaks by the weight of the non-abrasive, high-density ceramic media, exposing unreacted, underlying metal.

The peaks, being elevated, are wiped preferentially. Because the wiped coating was formed by reacting with the steel’s surface, coating removal results in a lowering of the peak. Recessed valleys between the peaks are untouched by the media, leaving the coating intact and the valleys untouched. The valley left, grant optimized lubrication.
