existing materials to make them more durable and stronger, which can yield dramatic results in metal performance, durability, and wear.\u00a0 By placing the materials in a specially constructed processor, liquid nitrogen is used to lower the temperature to -300 degrees F.\u00a0 It is a dry process, I.E., the Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) never actually touches the part, it is only used to cool the chamber.\u00a0 The Cryogenic process supplements conventional heat treatment, completing the metallurgical changes that the tempering\/quenching begins.\u00a0 This process is ideal for providing extended wear and durability as well as increasing the stress relieving properties of metal parts and tooling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11353ab

introduction of liquid nitrogen (LN2) at a rate that allows cooling the chamber to a rate of 1 degree per minute.\u00a0 The cooling is achieved by evaporation, not immersing parts in the LN2, it is a dry process.\u00a0\u00a0 This slow rate prevents any dimensional distortion or temperature induced stress.\u00a0 Once at -300F below zero, this temperature is maintained for a period of 15 to 25 hours.\u00a0 During this time, the microstructure grain change occurs, changing austenitic grain (soft) to martensitic grain (harder).\u00a0 Some say this process \u201crealigns\u201d the grain structure or makes the grain structure smaller.\u00a0 In truth, both are happening with this microstructure grain change.<\/p><p>Once this dwell at temperature has been accomplished, the processor then starts to heat the chamber, once again at 1 degree per minute, to a temperature of 300F above zero.\u00a0 The chamber is held at this temperature for several hours, this temper cycle is what finalizes the grain structure conversion.\u2028\u2028The end result is a base material that is not appreciably harder but has greater durability and wear resistance.\u00a0 Since this is a through the grain structure transformation, if the material wears or requires sharpening, the treatment is not removed and remains effective throughout the life of the component.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7a4667 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c7a4667\" data-element_type=\"container\"
