The cryogenic treatment of tool steels reduces the percentage of retained austenite (RA) that remains after heat treatment and increases the amount of martensite. Using a computer-controlled program, cryogenic metal treatment gradually reduces the temperature of tool steels to -300° F and keeps them at this cryogenic temperature for 24 hours. By promoting the transformation […]
Cryogenic Metal Treatment for Motorsports
Cryogenic treatment of your metal motorsports components can extend parts life and promote performance. The cryogenic metal treatment process uses a computer-controlled program that gradually reduces the temperature of automotive parts to -300°F and keeps them at this cryogenic temperature for 24 hours. By doing this, cryogenic metal treatment promotes a transformation of retained austenite […]
Cryogenic Treatment of Heat Treated Metal: Five Benefits
The cryogenic treatment of heat-treated metal is a one-time, permanent process that helps to eliminate residual stresses in metal components. Residual stress in materials is caused by a variety of things, including the actual formation of the metal, machining or casting, and the heat treatment process itself. It is thought that after metal is formed […]
Injection Molding Flash and Cryogenic Flash Removal
Injection molding flash is a part defect you can't ignore. Hand trimming is slow and expensive. Cryogenic deflashing is fast, consistent, and cost-effective.
Deburring Tool for Plastic is a Batch Process
The best deburring tool for plastic parts isn't a blade, bit, trimmer, cutter or rotary tool. For plastic parts deburring, use Nitrofreeze cryogenic deburring.
