Deep cryogenic treatment

CryoKing offers state-of-the-art deep cryogenic treatment facility, in collaboration with a US based company. Deep cryogenics is the methodology of "Ultra Low Temperature" processing of materials to enhance their metallurgical properties to desired levels. This process is capable of treating a wide variety of materials such as ferrous and non ferrous metals, metallic alloys, carbides, ceramics and plastics (including nylon and Teflon). The process involves raising and reducing the temperature. Thermal control is achieved by continuously monitoring inputs and regulating the flow of liquid nitrogen into the chamber and alternating the heat. Precise program control takes the cycle through its three phases of descend, soak and ascend. The entire cycle takes 48 to 72 hours depending on the weight and type of material. It is imperative that a slow descent is followed by a soak period of at least 24 hours at minus 310 °F and raised to plus 320 °F with a slow ascent. Strict computer control and precise processing profiles assure that optimum results are achieved with no dimensional change or fear of thermal shock. Cryogenics is not a surface treatment. It affects the entire mass of the tool or component being treated making it stronger throughout. This means the process keeps working even after numerous sharpening.
