Freeze Tool Expenses



CryoPlus, Inc. provides cryogenic services designed to improve performance and increase the life of metalcutting tools, blades, knives, stamping dies, shears, punches and engine components up to 400%.

The processor at CryoPlus utilizes the refrigeration capacity of liquid nitrogen in a batch process that is controlled by a microprocessor. Liquid nitrogen flows through a spray distribution system inside the chamber and is vaporized into an expanded gas. The circulation fan inside the chamber ensures proper transfer of heat during the process. It is designed to process parts at -300 °F as well as heat materials to +350 °F.

"The process of deep cryogenic freezing makes the internal structure more uniform, durable and stronger," said a company spokesperson. "Cryo processing increases abrasive wear resistance, raises the tensile strength and decreases brittleness with only one permanent treatment. It creates a denser molecular structure and closes the grains structure, resulting in a larger contact surface area that reduces friction, heat and wear. Unlike coatings, cryogenic treatment changes the entire structure, not just the surface. Subsequent refinishing or regrinding operations do not affect the permanent improvements of the processing. When the cryo treated tool does wear, the degree of wear is reportedly less severe, slower and more uniform. Therefore, less material must be removed to re-sharpen it."
