High-performance auto parts are built for speed, power, handling, and performance. Whether they’re for sports cars, race cars, motorcycles, or other types of motorsports, these engineered components are often made of steel, iron, aluminum, magnesium, or titanium. Heat treatment can improve a metal’s wear resistance, but it can also lock in residual stresses that result […]
Cryogenic Treatment for Stress Relieving Aluminum Stresses Found in Aluminum Stresses in aluminum can be caused by various external and internal factors. Some common types of stresses that can be found in aluminum include: Tensile stress: This type of stress is caused by a pulling force applied to the material, causing it to stretch. Compressive […]
Nitrofreeze® provides cryogenic treatment services for the barrels of handguns, rifles, and shotguns, including double barrel shotguns and rifles with .50 caliber barrels.
