Racing & Performance Engines
Less Friction. More Horsepower. Longer Engine Life.
DYNA-BLUE® surface treatments reduce wear, lower friction, and increase RPMs—helping race engines perform better, run cooler, and last longer.
Surface Treatments That Win More Than Races
In high-performance racing, every fraction of a second counts. Engine components are pushed to their physical limits—experiencing extreme heat, high RPMs, and brutal friction loads. Traditional coatings can flake or fail, and untreated steel simply can’t keep up.
DYNA-BLUE® is a low-temperature Ferritic Nitrocarburizing process that hardens the surface of steel with to 75+ HRC. Unlike coatings that wear off, DYNA-BLUE® is diffused into the metal—creating a durable, wear-resistant surface that lowers friction and extends the life of critical engine parts.
Whether you’re building for endurance, drag, track days, or pro-level circuits, DYNA-BLUE® helps you stay ahead of the competition.
Why DYNA-BLUE® for Racing?
Racing Challenges We Solve
-
High-RPM friction and thermal fatigue
-
Wear on cams, lifters, pushrods, and rocker arms
-
Chipped coatings and edge degradation
-
Premature failure of gears and shafts under torque
-
Hot spots, galling, and oil film breakdown
-
Inconsistent engine performance due to part wear
DYNA-BLUE® delivers a 75+ HRC surface that dramatically improves wear resistance, reduces friction, and withstands thermal cycling better than TiN coatings or untreated steel.
Key Benefits:

Resists heat, wear, galling, and corrosion
-
Will not flake, peel, or degrade like traditional coatings
-
Ideal for high-contact areas and critical performance parts
-
Compatible with crankshafts, cams, lifters, push rods, gears, and more
-
Uniform treatment inside and out—even in oil channels or deep bores
-
1–2 day turnaround typical
