Performance Cryogenics

Performance Cryogenics' Custom Thermal Cycling process utilizes 72 different computer controlled profiles to provide the "best" results for each component to be processed. (Different materials require different types of heat-treating; the same thing also applies to cryogenic thermal cycling.) The proper profile selection is determined by the type o... f material, the desired results and the volume to be processed. Our processes are computer controlled providing an accurate and repeatable process and also insures that the thickest cross section of material receives total treatment right down to the CORE. To achieve the most effective processing, proper circulation is of the utmost importance. We have evaluated, using computer modeling, various Cryogenic processors and have designed our own unit. We elected to use the Rectangle (box) shape thus providing the most effective volume. In doing so we sacrificed a small amount of through the wall thermal efficiency in exchange for proper circulation. This small loss in thermal efficiency in no way has any adverse effect on the quality of the thermal processing of the components. Our Cryogenic Processor has the most efficient and complete circulation on the market. Circular tank processors have good through the wall thermal efficiency however... circulation is limited. We have also developed an R&D unit that can be configured to accommodate many different types of testing and special purpose profiles. If the customer desires, unlimited test point instrumentation can be fed into the unit for real time data. This unit also has special porting that will allow various extreme operations to be conducted during the process. Vibration robs horsepower and torque Custom Thermal Cycling significantly reduces or eliminates damaging high frequency and harmonic vibration in metal components during operation. Processed components have shown an improvement in life expectancy as high as 300% with drastic reduction in micro cracking. The uniqueness of our Custom Thermal Cycling is that it ...Read More
