Chromoly vs steel driveshaft.
When it comes to a bulletproof driveline the mw chromoly driveshaft is the strongest.
When it comes time to purchase a driveshaft the first question is usually steel or aluminum the answer to that question requires considering three other factors.
Chrome moly steel is widely regarded as the single strongest material a driveshaft can be constructed from particularly for vehicles producing horsepower measured in the thousands.
Given the same o d.
A chromoly shaft is 75 stronger than commonly used 1020 dom material.
For high performance use there are.
Chrome moly is the abbreviation for chromium molybdenum and it is an alloy steel.
There are some basic trade offs between the two and the weight difference between them is present but virtually indistinguishable however each has its own place and its own application.
Materialswhat the driveshaft is made of is just as important as its length and diameter an oem steel shaft is rated for no more than 350 lb ft or 350 to 400 hp.
7 500 rpm critical speed will get it done and at 544 including a chromoly slip yoke and 2x 1350 solid u joints balanced and ready to install everyone else was 700 800.
And wall thickness a chrome moly tube weighs the same as a mild steel tube.
The strength of chrome moly is superior without a doubt to any type of composite or aluminum says strange engineering s j c.
Obviously in drag racing reducing weight is key.
To ensure the quality of the material the 3 x 083 4130 heat treated tubing used is manufactured to mw s stringent specifications.
It was designed for and is used extensively in the aircraft industry due to it s high tensile strength and torsional load ratings.
Horsepower vehicle weight and driveshaft length.

We have a specialized order form here on the driveshaft product listings to ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle.
The chromium adds strength hardenability and a level of corrosion resistance to mild carbon steel though chromoly is not as corrosion resistant as stainless steel.
Steel driveshafts can be broken down into two different sub materials.
A chromoly driveshaft with either 1350 or 1480 series joints would give.
Mild steel the aforementioned drawn over mandrel and chromoly.
Chromoly is stronger able to withstand more torque and has more stability at high rpm in comparison to common mild steel driveshafts.
