Cryo-Temper is an exceptional method of improving the physical and mechanical properties of various materials by putting them through our unique Controlled Dry Cryogenic Process. Unlike so-called “cold” treatments that are generally limited to temperatures in the –80°C (-110F) range, Cryo-Temper is controlled between -180 and 190°C (–300 and -320F).
And unlike techniques that involve use of cryogenic liquids, the Cryo-Temper Process is completely dry i. e. the parts will only have contact to cold nitrogen gas. It’s “chilling” cycle provides ample time for the material to adjust thoroughly to the progressively colder environment. Time in the low temperature range is long enough to establish an orderly arrangement of crystals, increase internal bonding energy, and achieve a structural balance throughout the mass of the material. The slow, gradual warming cycle is controlled to bring the material back up to room temperature without disturbing the basic uniformity of it’s transformed and stabilized molecular structure.
After your parts have been Cryo-Tempered, you will see a substantial increase in their wearability. Exposing the material to this environment will actually transform it’s chemical microstructure into a more refined, uniform grain substructure. |
On any type of replaceable tooling, maschine part or engine part where longer
life would result in reduced costs and less machine / engine downtime.
Cryo-Temper will improve it’s wear resistance and create improved stability,
provided the tool has been heat treated initially to the proper hardness for the
application. The same features will appear to mostly every part of a combustion
engine.
Take a short look at some industries and applications where Cryo-Temper is now being used regularly.
