What kind of material will improve performance and life by cryogenic treatment?

Cryogenic technology has raised great interest of scientific research community and the industry. It has been widely applied to improve the property and function of drills, cutting tools, measuring tooling and precision parts, such as the pump nozzle, the engine turbine shaft, roller, valves, gears, springs etc. In the automotive industry, major car companies are also testing cryogenic treated brakes in order to improve vehicle safety and to extend the life of brakes.

So far experimental results obtained have shown that cryogenic technology can be widely used in various industries and various components in order to improve their performance and extend their life. Here are some examples:

1, To improve the speed and life of high-speed steel and carbide drills;
2, To improve the performance and life of synthetic diamond saw blade;
3, To improve the wear resistance and life of car brakes;
4, To increase wear resistance of machine nozzle, springs, gears and bearings;
5, To extend the life of hot and cold die;

In the U.S., Japan and other countries, not only has the cryogenic technology been applied to high-speed steel, bearing steel, tool steel to improve wear resistance, toughness and life, but also to aluminum, copper alloy, carbide, plastic, rubber, asphalt, glass, etc. For all type of the materials tested, cryogenic treatment significantly improved structure uniformity, dimensional stability and extended life.
