We make metal stronger and last longer!

Cryogenic treatment of metals and other materials will cause them to become tougher, resist corrosion and wear longer, increasing their useful life by 2-5 times. Most metals can be cryogenically treated, along with aluminum and certain plastics.

The process is simple. Over several hours, computer controls use liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature in the processing unit to -300°F and hold it there for an extended period of time to ensure the entire part reaches that temperature. Then the temperature is slowly brought back to normal to avoid any shock.

Parts are then placed in an oven and brought to 300°F, then returned to room temperature to complete the process. Metals and plastics that cannot be heated will be complete and ready to use after being removed from the unit and returned to room temperature.

Our system can accommodate parts up to 18.5” wide, 28” tall and 67” long. Diagonally, our maximum space is 72”. We can treat up to 2,500 # at a time.
