Cryotherm is a metal and plastic process service that improves the wear resistance of almost all metals and some plastics. Cryotherm machines regulate the temperature within a tenth of a degree from sub zero to extremely hot temperatures.
The Cryotherm process stabilizes the metal's molecular structure for durability. It gives metal the highest resistance possible from heat warpage and micro-cracking without making the metal more brittle, the company says. It improves brake co-efficiency of friction, which means greater stopping power.
Advantages of the Cryotherm process include:
- Increased wear resistance
- Reduced harmful vibrations and metal fatigue
- Treats 100% of an item - not just the surface
- Does not change size or hardness of parts
- Increased durability and life
- Less residual stress
- Increased tensile strength
- Reduced tooling costs
