ABOUT

Performance-driven and highly technical, motorsports applications require top-tier speed, precision, endurance, and efficiency out of their parts. The Sullivan Steel product lineup supports these needs by providing steel with key characteristics such as toughness, ductility, fatigue strength, and surface hardness, giving motorsport engineers the uncompromising quality they need.

APPLICATIONS

ENGINE

Camshafts, crankshafts, rods, bearings, and valve components are essential portions of high-performance motorsport engines, and often face high operating temperatures, rotational stress, and corrosion. Grades used within them must be fatigue resistant, prevent oxidation, and exhibit reliable hardness during thermal fluctuations.

TRANSMISSION

Motorsport transmissions, in part comprised by gear sets, shafts, and bearings, experience significant torque, friction, and vibration at high RPMs. Steel used in these parts typically require case-hardening capabilities, plus fatigue resistance and wear resistance.

DRIVETRAIN

For parts like axles and driveshafts, steel with high toughness, excellent strength properties, and reliable surface durability are key.
