Minimum Life = 2 Million Parts
A major computer manufacturer identifies in their Supplier Tooling Guide that stamping tools, which are heat hardened to a minimum of Rc54, and used to manufacture 2 million parts must be cryogenically treated at -196°C (-320°F) to produce optimum strength, stability, and resistance to wear.
Cryogenic Treatment of stamp dies results in:
- High Wear Resistance
- Maximum Dimensional Stability
- Optimum Strength
