Cryogenics 101: Deep Cryogenic Tempering Explained

Deep cryogenic tempering is a one-time, homogenous process that will permanently and dramatically make significant improvements to the useful life and performance of metals. With a wide range of applications in everything from brake rotors performance engines to machine tools and gun barrels.

Using a proprietary computer-controlled process inside of a Cryo-processor, the metal is cooled slowly to deep cryogenic temperatures (-300°F), and slowly returned to room temperature, with the final stage being a heat-tempered step.
Computer technology allows us to regulate temperatures to 1/10 of a degree, accurately controlling Cryo tempering in accordance with the material and mass of your parts.

Although not apparent to the naked eye, the improvements to the metal are significant. Deep cryogenic tempering creates dramatic increases in abrasive wear resistance and durability. The increases in tensile strength, toughness and stability couple with the release of internal residual stresses.
