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 […]
Vacuum tubes that are cryogenically treated can improve sound quality in music and audio applications. Cryogenic treatment, a process that modifies the micro-structure of metals by subjecting them to ultra-cold temperatures as -300° F, is commonly used to increase the durability and wear resistance of steels but can also maximize the sonic performance of electrical […]
The cryogenic engine treatment of turbochargers can extend the life and improve the performance of turbo parts made of aluminum, titanium, magnesium, or stainless steel alloys. During this computer-controlled process, the temperature of the turbocharger is gradually reduced to -300° F and then kept at this cryogenic temperature for 24 hours. By promoting the transformation […]
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 […]
