How does Cryogenic Treatment Work?
Cryogenics is a one-time, irreversible treatment that permanently changes the entire molecular structure of the material being treated, not just the surface, creating a denser molecular structure, resulting in a smoother contact surface area that reduces friction, heat, and wear. There are two types of Cryo-treatments – deep treatment and shallow treatment. The deep treatment process involves the slow cooling of materials to temperatures of approximately -300° F and then slowly re-heating them to varying temperatures, depending on the material. This is much preferred over the shallow treatment, which only cools the material to -120° F and does not give the full range of cryogenic treatment benefits to the material. One of the big challenges with cryo-treatment is that you can’t tell what’s been treated and what hasn’t by examining the tool. But, as they say, “beauty is more than skin deep.” What you can’t see will make a significant difference. Cryogenic treatment dramatically increase
