Why Use Nitrofreeze Cryogenic Treatment Services?
Nitrofreeze offers Cryogenic Treatment Services designed to enhance the performance of metal components. Cryogenic Treatment, also known as Cryogenic Processing, modifies the microstructure of metals by subjecting them to ultra-cold temperatures, improving their durability, wear resistance, and stress relief.
Key Benefits of Cryogenic Treatment
Cryo Treatment helps transform heat-treated steels, cast irons, and other metals by providing the following benefits:
- Increase Durability:
More Consistent Grain Structure – Heat-treated steels often contain retained austenite (RA), which can be transformed into martensite through Cryogenic Treatment, resulting in stronger and more durable metal components. - Improve Wear Resistance:
Increase Carbon Structure in Steel – Cryogenic Processing enhances the carbon structure of steel, increasing the formation of eta-carbides, which in turn improves the wear resistance of the metal. - Relieve Stresses:
Reduce Fatigue Failures – By relieving residual stresses formed during casting and machining, our cryo treatment process helps reduce fatigue failures, extending the lifespan of metal components.
