What is Cryogenic Processing?
SubZero Cryogenics Ltd considers the definition of the process to be:"The modification of a material or component using cryogenic temperatures."The cryogenics process is referred to by quite a few different names. Our preference is to call the process "Cryogenic Processing". Terms heard in industry are:
What Does Cryogenic Processing Do?
Cryogenic processing makes changes to the crystal structure of materials. The major results of these changes are to enhance the abrasion resistance and fatigue resistance of the materials. Cryogenic processing will not in itself harden metal like quenching and tempering. It is not a substitute for heat-treating. It is an addition to heat-treating. Most alloys will not show much of a change in hardness due to cryogenic processing.View cryogenic processing services
