Cryogenic Treatment

Porter's ZEROTEMP

ZEROTEMP is not a surface treatment but a process that increases internal bonding while releasing internal stresses created by previous machining processes. Computer-controlled gradual cooling and warming cycles eliminate the possibility of thermal shock and prevent parts from becoming brittle.

We also offer our ZEROTEMP Deep Cryogenics to treat your cutting tools and industrial knives to provide superior wear life. Please contact us for a quote and size limitations.

The Benefits

• Forms very fine carbide particles throughout the material and increases wear resistance.
• Results in a tougher substrate further increasing part life through reduced impact failures.
• Reduces internal stresses and eliminates movement during the machining process.
• Provides increased durability, tensile strength, toughness and stability.
• Extra life can vary from 100 to 400 % depending on the tool type and the application.
• Requires only one treatment. As it is a through part molecular change, not a surface layer, the results last the life of the tool. Sharpening will NOT eliminate the benefits.
