Deep cryogenic
tempering is a one-time, homogenous process that permanently and dramatically improves the
performance and useful life of metals in everything from brake rotors and performance
engines to machine tools and gun barrels. Using a proprietary computer-controlled
process, the metal is cooled slowly to deep cryogenic temperatures (-300�), and slowly
returned to room temperature, then heat-tempered as the final step. Computer
technology allows us to regulate temperatures to 1 degree, accurately controlling Cryo
tempering in accordance with the material and mass of your parts. Although not apparent to
the naked eye, the improvements to the metal are significant. Deep cryogenic tempering
creates dramatic increases in abrasive wear resistance and durability. The increases in
tensile strength, toughness and stability couple with the release of internal residual
stresses. |
