Weight saving on reciprocating and rotating mass has a great impact on engine performance, as power is increased throughout the rev range with reduced friction and vibration. Combined effect is a completely transformed engine character that runs smoothly with a softer and quicker response.
Steel rods are cost effective, reliable and deliver a time tested solution for high horsepower and high revving applications. Dp high quality connecting rods are double air re-melt steel that have been forged, ensuring a better grain structure and lower sulphur content (0.01%), which means fewer inclusions and faults.
In General Steel rods are probably the best choice for connecting rods because of its durability and strength. With the proper designing and heat treatment process as we in dp follow, forged steel connecting rod can be ultra-light and good enough for high revving engines. DP manufactures steel rods from the a proprietry material with additional Ni-Cr-Si, but also from a well tested and proven tool steel material with even higher percentage of Chromium and additional Vanadium according to the targeted hp and the weight reduction needed.
Dp also manufactures Aluminum rods for specific applications and for certain disciplines like drag racing, where high boost and/or nitrous are common place. Dp aluminum rods are made from billet certified aluminum plates. While steel and titanium are stronger in terms of overall tensile strength, the aluminum alloy delivers the required ‘give’ during violent operation. However, the aluminum rod is essentially a disposable part, requiring frequent replacement.
Our in-depth expertise in prototype construction enables us to deliver small-batch productions of dedicated rods that meet the highest technologic demands and match 100% our customer needs.DP fabricates components to extremely precise dimensions, within very low tolerances and with excellent reproducibility, in large or small batches for various racing teams globally. Dp also offers various different beam combinations in their deisgn like the more common A, I and H beam up to a Cross beam and our first in the world and then copied parabolic X beam design. We are also offering extended lightening in the non crucial points ending in what we xall Super H and Super A deisgn combinations but also we add extra material and beam combinations as our unique again Cross beam H or Cross beam X beam designs as tested in various drag cars with excessive power of 400hp per cylinder
