New Cryogenic Machine at SBC

We now have our new Cryogenic machine up and running. Here are some pictures of it.




If you don't know, the system freezes metal using liquid nitrogen to -320 degrees. This is kind of like heat treating but a much more controlled way to stabilize metal. The molecules in most metal are sporadic throughout the metal. The purpose of cryoing is to compress all the molecules in the metal. As the material is slowly brought back to 350 degrees fahrenheit then back down to room temperature in about a 36 hour process is where the transformation is done. During this process the molecules in the metal start to separate. The end result will be that they are aligned and spaced perfectly from one to the next, thus creating a much more stable/flexible heat tolerant and durable product.

These are a few of the products that we have come up with to do. If you guys can think of any more please let us know.

Brakes/Rotors
Clutches
Engine Components
Boat Props
Saw Blades/Grinding Stones
Tool & Die Cutting Tips & Bits
Golf Clubs/Balls
Musical Instruments
Salon Scissors & Razors
