Cryogenics Services
What is Cryogenics?
Cryogenics are used in heat treating to increase the amount of martensite in the steel’s crystal structure, increasing its strength and hardness which in turn imparts very high wear resistance to steels. Components are cooled with evaporated liquid nitrogen and can be controlled at temperatures as low as -300℉.
Benefits of Cryogenics:
- Increased Durability
- Improve Wear Resistance
- Stress Relief
- Enhanced Thermal and Electrical Properties
- Reduced Coefficient of Friction
- Easier Machining
Furnace Capacity:
- -300℉, 48″ x 48” x 48” up to 5,000 lb.
- -300℉ up to +1200℉, 36W” x 36H” x 48L”.
