Hi You need to find out from the welder if: 1/ Has he access to cryo treatments and 2/ Is he able to manufacture a cryo tank 3/ Has he the facility to design process controller. 4/ Is well versed in the principles and practice of martensitic transformation John Hervey posted some details about torsion bars he enquired about some time ago. It may be worth asking if he could look into this again?

He is a metal/engineer/welder. He showed me his welding equipment and it is ultra sophisticated. He does work for NASA. He said the repair is not a problem but he wants as much information about the torsion bar as possible. The type of metal, and the process it went through in it's production, heat treatments that type of stuff. He examined the fracture and the metal and he thinks he knows what it is but likes more information. The information is also important because he said with the proper information he can treat the metal and make me a new torsion bar that will work. If I can get that information I will pay him to make the bar and try it on my car. He showed me some of his work. Two-quarter inch pieces of metal the thickness of tin foil with perfect welds on all sides, I think I have found the best welder for the job. This is an opportunity to address the torsion bar issue so any information will really help.
