Cryogenic Tempering

Cryogenic Tempering

  • What is it? Cryogenic tempering is a process in which a metal object is slowly cycled (less than one degree per minute) through a wide temperature range, which affects the molecular structure of a metal, increasing dimensional stability, performance, and wear resistance of most alloys such as tool steels, aluminum, titanium, cast iron, and more. The stress that is introduced into the parts (rods, valves, cam/crankshafts, engine blocks, etc) at the time of forging, casting, heat treating and final machining, create a complex, invisible (to the naked eye) random pattern in the alloy. As parts expand from the heat generated during operation, the retained stresses from the manufacturing process cause uneven expansion, increased dimensional instability, and increased wear.
  • By cycling parts to ultra low temperatures for a prolonged period, a very dense molecular state is created. Absolute zero ( -459.67 Fahrenheit ) is known as the zero motion molecular state of mass. It is this slow rate of temperature change that allows what is known as thermal compression and thermal expansion to occur, which is what actually effects the release of stress. The result is a dimensionally stabilized part, which will resist distortion and warpage, thus increasing performance and durability.
