Cryotron has developed a unique wear procedure for treating a variety of commonly used tool steels and parts. Extensive research has been done regarding the impact of our wear technologies on metal. The most significant and consistent change is the increased toughness, stability and wear resistance. The process is also used to extensively relieve residual and tensile stress. Metal and other materials, after Cryotron’s wear treatment process, show a marked increase in wear resistance without any discernable change in dimensional or volumetric integrity. Machining treated material is easier and cleaner. Redressing or regrinding treated tools removes less stock material resulting in longer tool life. Although the material is stronger following treatment, it shows little or no change in yield or tensile strength. The treated material becomes less brittle, without a change in original hardness.
WE GUARANTEE THE DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT IN WEAR RESISTANCE.

Every industry will benefit from our metal wear solutions; to increase tool and part life, to decrease down-time due to change-out and regrinding. As one of our clients pointed out, “…processed custom made T-15 inserts are giving four times the life of Valentine carbide inserts machining A-286 with an interrupted cut...HSS inserts gave double the life of carbide”. Our South African representative also states “The results from on the tips I had processed awhile ago have shown extraordinary life extension. They have recorded 10,000 more welds with the treated tips. They normally get 2,000 welds and now achieved 12,500 welds!"

Almost any kind of tool steel or dynamic part, for whatever application, will exhibit some kind of life increase through the use of our metal wear process. As less tools or parts are needed, there is substantial savings in dollars. Additional savings include less downtime and short runs, less maintenance and change-over, which allows for lower production costs. Cryotron’s metal wear technology will result in significant savings to industry and consequently reduce the tremendous drain and usage of energy, natural resources, and raw materials. Further, with Cryotron’s unique proprietary business model, your company will no longer need to carry any inventory.

How does it work? The idea is to replace a company’s current spending on consumable parts with a service plan that reduces your costs in parts by up to 30% plus costs of inventory, by Cryotron carrying your inventory for you. We will inventory how much material you need on hand per given time period, and how much volume your company is producing. We integrate this into our database and will know when you need the parts, and have them ready and delivered.
