Nitrofreeze® provides cryogenic treatment services for the barrels of handguns, rifles, and shotguns, including double barrel shotguns and rifles with .50 caliber barrels. Cryogenic treatment reduces stresses and imperfections in the metal’s microstructure for faster muzzle velocity and tighter shot groupings. This one-time, permanent process also increases wear resistance for easier barrel cleaning and reduces […]

The 5 T’s of Cryogenic Deburring Machined Parts
The Cryogenic Deburring Process Cryogenic Deburring is a process designed to remove machining burrs created during the machining process. Machining burrs can be found on CNC machined parts along surfaces that are manufactured from material stock. In order for machined parts to complete their desired function, the residual machining burrs need to be removed. Nitrofreeze® […]
Nitrofreeze® Proof of Concept: Deflashing Molded Plastic Clips
The Deflashing Challenge Injection molding flash, or flashing, is excess material that is forced out of a mold cavity at the parting line or ejector pin locations. This surface defect mars the finish of molded parts and can interfere with their performance. Traditionally, injection molders remove flash by hand. However, manual trimming is slow, time-consuming, […]
The Five T’s of Cryogenic Deflashing Molded Parts
The Cryogenic Deflashing Process Cryogenic Deflashing is a process designed to remove molding flash created during the molding process. Molding flash can be found on molded parts along the parting lines, gate vestiges, and where pins and slides are located. In order for molded parts to complete their desired function, the residual molding flash needs […]
