In 1994 we introduced Cryogenic processing, an innovative way to considerably improve the wear resistance.

Cryo-Processing:
Advantages.
In the process of Deep Cryogenic Tempering we have developed an advanced, computer controlled processing system for reliable treatment of materials.

We treat engine components and parts at -300^oF to improve their properties. Computer technology empowers us to regulate temperatures to 1/10 of a degree, and accurately manipulate cryo treatment in accordance with the mass of your engine part. Our innovative Cryo-Procesing freezes metals to less than cryogenic levels while other deep-freeze methods, process equipment to only -120^oF takes metals to freeze less than cryogenic levels. In fact our Cryo-Processing treatment exceeds other heating and freezing methods by 200 to 400 percent.

Cryo - Processing is done to improve the performance and life of metals, tools and parts. In deep cryogenic tempering metals are deep - freezed beyond cryogenic levels,to achieve appreciable increase in tensile strength, toughness and stability coupled with the release of internal residual stresses. The result-increased product life.

The one-time, irreversible treatment improves the entire structure, not just the surface.

Cryo - Processing Advantages

• Increases abrasive wear resistance.
• Requires only one permanent treatment.
• Creates a denser molecular structure, which results in a larger contact surface area that reduces friction, heat, and wear.
• Changes the Component's entire structure, not just the surface. Subsequent refinishing operations or regrinds do not affect permanent improvements.
• Eliminates thermal shocks through a dry, computer controlled process.
• Transforms almost all soft retained austenite to hard martensite.
• Forms microfine carbide fillers to enchance large carbide structures.
• Increases durability or wear life.
• Decreases residual stresses in steel tools.
• Decreases brittleness
• Increases tensile strength, toughness and stability coupled with the release of internal stresses.
