Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT) also known as Deep Cryogenic Tempering or Cryo Treating is a one-time permanent process. that toughens most ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Examples would be metals, metallic alloys, carbides, aluminium, bronze and brass to name but a few. Unlike a surface treatment, Deep Cryogenic Treatment or Deep Cryogenic Tempering toughens the material right through to the core.
Frozen Solid link with performance and production engineers and research institutes from around the world on a daily basis, current projects in liaison with Cambridge and Newcastle University are developing Cryogenics on the world stage.
Ongoing dialogue in research sees PhD links established and maintained to ensure our capabilities are documented and based on solid empirical fact. We give each of our customers a personal and bespoke service leading to the optimisation of their engineering requirements whilst drawing on a knowledge base second to none in the industry. We own and operate the most comprehensive Cryogenic facility in Europe including three distinct levels of advanced cooling apparatus, a combination of liquid Nitrogen and Helium processing capability in tandem with multi stage in house tempering systems means we cover the broadest commercial Cryo temperature range available to the market. Frozen Solid is a US/UK partnership offering a background encompassing general and military engineering experience with links world-wide to ensure your company and products stay ahead of the competition.; Improve performance, efficiency and your bottom line with Frozen Solid – Deep Cryogenic Treatment Service.
In addition to increased wear, impact and fatigue resistance, materials are relieved of most residual stresses. Aluminium with its high surface residual stress responds incredibly well to the process becoming very dimensionally stable, and standing up to the most demanding machining.
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment increases resistance to wear in most metals
-Deep Cryogenically treated material shows increased toughness, fatigue and impact resistance
-Deep Cryogenic treatment transforms the retained soft austenite to the harder martensite in steel more successfully than any heat treatment
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment is ideal for stress relieving most Ferrous and Non-Ferrous materials
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment creates a denser molecular structure, resulting in a finer contact surface area that reduces friction, heat and wear
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment is compatible with other treatments ( TiN, Chrome, Teflon, etc.)
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment does not cause dimensional changes
-Deep Cryogenic Treatment is a low cost one-time permanent treatment that is environmentally friendly
