Whats the difference between forged h section rods and steel ones?

CheeRS!

 

H section are stronger and lighter, but more expensive.

 

wrong

 

You wanna correct him then?

 

To give you the correct answer,there are 2 types of steel rods as there is 2 types of steel cranks
you have "cast "steel which is fitted in stock Cosworth engines,this is stronger than normal "cast" iron like in pinto and RS Turbos ect
Then you have the proper stuff "Billet" steel,which is a billet of graded steel which is then machined to make a crank or a con rod,this process is time consuming so you pay more money,but its the ultimate in strength
hope this answers your question

 

I was but on another post,you were far to quick to reply

 

but what about "forged h section conrods" are they just h section cast steel rods?

 

also how much better than standard zetc rods are these?or is it just worth swollowing the bill for proper steel rods?

 

Forged steel is stronger than billet steel as the grain of the metal is forced to follow the shape of the component in the forging process, Arrow rods are machined from forgings for this reason.

at least read mate beofre you post rubbish

 

After you have removed your head from your arse you might take the time to read your own link

Oh man, its never simple on here...........................

 

Am i right in saying that the link doesnt say anything about forged or billet?

 

LOL my mistake wrong link,but I will proove billet rods and cranks are strong then forged
forged is strong and cheaper thats why true billet engoine items are hard to come by and cost shit loads

 

They are machined from EN24V FORGINGS

Imagine making a wooden wheel rim for arguments sake, if you started with a nice flat piece of wood and cut a circle out with a saw, in places the grain would make the wheel very weak. Now make one from a long piece of wood you have bent round so the ends meet up the grain is following the shape and it becomes much stronger.

oh aye

I only read the blurby bit at the bottom, apologies
