The September issue of RET-Monitor Surface Treatment section focused on chemical processes and the benefits these provide the autosport industry. REM's ISF process received special mention as one of these such processes. Author Wayne Ward states, "Very popular applications for such processes are gears, where the process has been found to have a beneficial effect in mitigating scuffing and micro-pitting, and also in terms of friction reduction."
Ward goes on to mention, "In this case, the benefits are not only applicable to engine gears, but to transmissions. Racing transmissions have been tested and proven to benefit from such processes (see Reference). The contact between a cam and follower is also highly stressed, and is known to benefit from improved surface finish in terms of reduced friction."
The article sites a paper written by REM's Product Manager and Sales Engineer Bill Nebiolo entitled, Harnessing the Horsepower Thief.
