Plastic molding can produce parts with flash, excess material that forms on part surfaces. During injection molding, molten plastic may escape through the mold’s parting line. Improper venting, low clamping pressure, low material viscosity, and uneven flow can also cause flash formation. In addition, injection molding flash sometimes occurs after the gate runners are removed. […]
Beryllium Copper Beryllium copper is a type of copper alloy that contains a small amount of beryllium, typically between 0.5% and 3% by weight. Beryllium is a rare, metallic element that is valued for its strength, lightweight, and excellent thermal conductivity. When added to copper, beryllium forms a solid solution that enhances the strength, […]
Dry Ice Shortage At the present time there is a shortage of dry ice available in the United States. This shortage is expected to alleviate by some point this fall. Nitrofreeze has contracts with a dry ice supplier to minimize delays in production, however, we can still complete dry ice blasting jobs at our facility […]
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® is experiencing supply chain disruptions that may delay the start of your dry ice blasting and cleaning (DIBC), deburring, or deflashing project. Shipments of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which is used to produce dry ice, have been slow to arrive from Canada by rail. Meanwhile, our main dry ice supplier is selling product only […]
