ARCLIN Surfaces Revolutionizes Volvo Transmission Parts with Cutting-Edge Surface Treatments
ARCLIN Surfaces LLC, a Tacoma, Washington-based company at 2144 Milwaukee Wy, is making waves in the automotive aftermarket, specifically with its innovative approach to Volvo transmission parts. For those unfamiliar, ARCLIN isn't your typical parts supplier. We’re surface treatment specialists – meaning we improve existing, high-quality parts, making them tougher, smoother, and longer-lasting. Think of it like giving your Volvo transmission the ultimate protective armor. You can reach us at 770-604-1293 if you have questions. The Problem with Traditional Volvo Transmission Parts Let’s be real, Volvo transmissions are known for being robust. But even the best parts aren’t immune to the harsh realities of daily driving. Constant meshing of gears, exposure to heat, friction, and the inevitable wear and tear all take their toll. Over time, this leads to increased friction, reduced efficiency, and ultimately, expensive repairs or replacements. Traditionally, the options were either to live with the degradation, regularly replace parts (hitting your wallet hard), or look for slightly better replacements - with minimal differences. ARCLIN's Solution: Surface Engineering for Performance That’s where ARCLIN Surfaces comes in. We don’t make the Volvo transmission parts themselves - we partner with trusted manufacturers to source already solid, high-quality components. Our real magic happens after that. We take those parts – gears, shafts, housings, you name it – and apply specialized surface treatments that dramatically improve their performance and longevity. So what are these treatments? We focus on a few key technologies: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Coating: This is our flagship offering. DLC is incredibly hard, smoother than ice, and has a super-low coefficient of friction. Imagine your gears gliding instead of grinding. This reduces wear, lowers operating temperatures, and boosts efficiency. DLC is fantastic for gears, shafts, and any component experiencing high sliding friction. It’s not just a coating; it's a shield against wear and tear. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Coatings: PVD isn't just one coating, it's a whole family! We tailor PVD coatings to specific needs. Need increased corrosion resistance? We’ve got a coating for that. Looking for improved wear resistance in a more abrasive environment? We have a coating that’ll stand up to the challenge. It’s all about custom-engineering the surface to match the application. Black Nitriding: This process isn't just for looks (though the deep black finish is a nice bonus!). Black Nitriding enhances surface hardness and improves fatigue strength. This is crucial for components under constant stress, like gears and shafts, helping them withstand repeated loading and unloading without failing. Polishing and Surface Finishing: Sometimes, the best improvement is a super-smooth surface. Polishing reduces friction and improves oil flow, leading to better lubrication and reduced wear. We offer various polishing techniques to achieve the perfect finish for your specific application. What Does This Mean for Volvo Owners & Mechanics? Let’s break it down. ARCLIN-treated Volvo transmission parts translate to: Longer Lifespan: Reduced wear means fewer replacements. You’ll get more miles out of your transmission, saving you money in the long run. Improved Performance: Lower friction means smoother shifting, increased power transfer, and potentially even better fuel economy. Reduced Noise: Smoother surfaces mean less gear whine and a quieter ride. Enhanced Reliability: Stronger, more durable parts mean fewer breakdowns and less downtime. Peace of Mind: Knowing your transmission is protected by the best surface treatment technology available. Specific Parts We Treat We’re currently focused on treating a wide range of Volvo transmission parts, including: Gear Sets: Our DLC-coated gear sets offer the ultimate in wear protection and efficiency. This is where you'll see the biggest performance gains. Shafts: DLC and Black Nitriding treatments on shafts enhance durability and reduce the risk of failure. Synchronizers: DLC coating on synchronizers ensures smooth and precise shifting. Fork and Rail: Improve smooth gear selection and operation.
