The Cryogenic Process

Any material can be cryogenically treated. The transformation of retained austenite into martensite - which improves the tensile strength and hardness of the material. Carbide precipitates that form within the martensitic structure - this is what is responsible for the improvement in wear resistance. Dimensional stability - the cryogenic treatment removes the kinetic energy of atoms, which is the energy of motion. It can also be applied for stress relief of castings and machined parts. Non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, magnesium, titanium, copper, nickel alloys, plastics and nylon can be treated as well. It can also be applied for a type of stress relief on castings and machine parts.
