CRYOGENICS

How does cryogenic processing improve hardness?

Hardness is improved in metals subjected to a cryogenic treatment process when retained austenite is eliminated from the molecular structure and compared to a conventionally heat treated metal workpiece.

How does cryogenic processing improve toughness?

Low temperature conditioning of martensite is responsible for increasing the toughness of metal parts when compared to a conventionally heat treated metal workpiece. A deep cryogenically treated component shows far higher toughness than conventionally heat treated material, or the raw metal material.

Brake Rotors

Cryogenic treatment of brake rotors and pads can provide you with 3x the life , which is up to a 300% increase in life. This means more profits go to your business instead of maintaining your fleet.

Wheel and Hub Bearings

Wheel and Hub Bearings both do very well with cryogenic treatment. They last longer and reduce friction and heat from being exposed to 300 below F. in our cryogenic chamber.

Ring and Pinion Gears

Reduce wear and tear in your ring and pinion gears with cryogenics. Metals will become stronger and disperse heat, leading to a stronger and more reliable differential.

Axles

We cryogenically treat axles for cars, tucks, trailers, ATV's and UTV's

Engine Blocks

Engine blocks, especially iron, love cryogenics. We cryo treat the block before boring or honing the cylinders, which in turn leaves a beautifully machined and durable cylinder wall for you to push to the limits.

Rotating Assemblies

Cryogenics help strengthen the entire engine. Pistons, connecting rods, rings, bearings, crank, lifters, springs, cam, flexplate, hardware.

We can make that forged assembly extra nice with liquid ice!!!
