Cryogenic treatments
How Cryogenic Treatment Works!
When metal is initially formed at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature the atoms & molecules are disorganized and there are weak particles in the metal called Austenite, these are actually large unstable particles of carbon.
What cryogenic processing does is to convert these weak and unstable carbon particles into Martensite, which are very strong and stable carbide particles. This transformation takes place the same way that regular carbon (which is soft and weak) is converted into diamonds… which is the hardest most durable material know to man – IT TAKES VERY EXTREME PRESSURE! Diamonds are pure carbon, however they have perfectly aligned carbon atoms!
In Cryogenic Processing the EXTREME PRESSURE comes from the physics of freezing to –300 degrees and the resultant contracting of the metal. This contraction, which would also happen under extreme pressure, forces the atoms & molecules to align and fit together tightly.
Once the metal warms back up to atmospheric temperature and pressure the molecules return to their normal spacing however now they are now highly organized, forming one virtually continuous strength piece of metal without the stress spots and weak particles that were in the metal prior to Cryogenic Processing.
Under a microscope you can actually see that the surface of the metal has become much smoother. This smoothing greatly reduces friction (which greatly reduces heat) and increases the resistance to wear of the metal up to 300%.
Cryogenic Processing works for virtually all kinds of metal or metal alloys and some plastics such as nylon.
Cryo'ing metal golf clubs will increase your driving distance up to 15 yards.
Cryo'd Golf club heads have a greatly enlarged Sweet Spot and that means grater accuracy for your drives.
Cryo'ing Golf balls average a 10 yard increase.
Cryo'd razor blades stay sharp twice as long.
It dramatically increases the tonal quality of brass and metal Musical instruments.
Target shooters Cryo their gun barrels to virtually eliminate heat deformation and increase accuracy.
Motorsports racing enthusiast have their engines, drivetrains, & suspension parts Cryo’d to increase strength by up to 50% and can double the life of engine & drivetrain parts that are subject to wear and fatigue.
Wood Workers, Machine shops, and Plastics fabricators, Cryo their cutting blades and bits to typically increase as much as 2 to 3 times the amount of material cut before having to re-sharpen or replace their blades and bits.
Cryogenic processing is a one-time process that lasts for the life of the item.
Cryo’d metals can be machined or sharpened as much as you have cutting tip or edge and will retain all the improved properties throughout their life.
If you are going to do any Heat treating, nitriding or other massaging of the metals you should do them first and cryo afterwards to clean up any inconsistancies or stresses in the metal that the other treatments may have caused.
You should expect around a 30% to 50% increase in Strength and around double the life for all Cryo’d metal items that are subject to wear and double the resistance to fatigue!
