ALL STEEL NITRIDE RACING RINGS:
Hastings is the First to Offer All Gas-Nitride Stainless Steel Rings with Ceramic PVD Coatings. They are Specifically Designed for Super-high Horsepower Engines Using Any Racing Fuel and Injections Like Nitrous Oxide!
That’s right! Hastings Tough Guy® All Steel Nitride (SN) Racing Rings are the first to include all three rings in Gas-Nitride hardened stainless steel. Plus, a Ceramic PVD coating is applied to the face of the torsional barrel top ring and the stainless steel rails of the Flex-Vent® oil ring.
The 2nd groove ring is Gas-Nitride stainless steel with a Napier profile, a design that ensures optimum durability and oil scraping capability under extreme performance conditions.
The hardening and coating processes provide far superior wear resistance to the entire ring set. The Ceramic PVD coating results in a very low coefficient of friction, thus reducing drag significantly, as well as providing high scuff and heat resistance, and excellent sealing. This translates to measurably improved output for super-high horsepower engines, or more horsepower! So go ahead and Get On It!
The Gas-Nitride and Ceramic PVD are completely compatible to Nikasil-coated cylinder bores.
TOUGH GUY CLAIMER SERIES:
Claimer Cast (C), our most economical set of racing rings, features top and 2nd groove compression rings made of proprietary shell-mold cast iron with phosphate coating. Torsional ID bevel and reverse twist, taper faced 2nd groove rings result in excellent sealing of compression gases, improved oil scrape on the down stroke, less friction, and faster break in.
Taking Claimer up a notch, Claimer Moly (CM) top rings are made of proprietary shell-mold cast iron with plasma moly impact-resistant alloy,providing a hardened and lubricious,low-friction structure.
