What is Titanikel Plating?

Titanikel plating is a sophisticated technology developed by Hyway, involving a titanium-nickel composite applied through a high-temperature steam plating process at 900 to 1000 degrees Celsius. This creates a robust, wear-resistant surface perfect for engine components.

Titanikel Plating Process:

The process starts with multi-composite electroplating, coating the cylinder with a titanium-nickel composite. After plating, the surface is polished with diamond tools to achieve an exceptionally smooth finish due to titanium's high strength.

Benefits of Titanikel Plating:

• High Temperature Resistance: Can handle extreme temperatures without breakdown
• Durability: Titanium-nickel blend dramatically extends cylinder life
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent protection against corrosion
• Smooth Operation: Ultra-low friction reduces wear and improves efficiency
• Optimal Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Ideal for lightweight professional saws

Compatibility:

Stihl Models:

• Stihl 038 Magnum
• Stihl MS380

Will NOT fit standard 50 mm 038 models

Installation Guide – Quick Tips for Success

• Verify bore size: Measure your old cylinder — this kit is 52 mm only.
• Clean thoroughly: Remove all old gasket material from crankcase and muffler surfaces.
• Use new base gasket: Always install a new gasket — never reuse the old one.
• Torque properly: Cylinder base nuts: 10–11 Nm in a criss-cross pattern.
• Break-in period: Run first tank at 50:1 with light load, vary RPM, avoid full throttle for extended periods.
• Decomp valve: Transfer your existing valve or install new one with light grease on threads.

Bring your 038 Magnum or MS380 back to full strength — cooler, tougher, and more reliable than ever — with the Hyway Titanikel 52 mm Cylinder Kit at the best price from HL SUPPLY!
