Inc. Thermal Processing News Look out for imitators Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute to found Thermal Processing Technology Center to study heat treating and cryogenics . Dyer's Top Rods selects C TP for heat treating and cryo treating every Dyer's connecting rod. This process can lower production costs, reduce scrap, increase component reliability, and reduce pollution. The racing industry has grown to rely on this process to reduce the cost of racing and to reduce mechanical failures.
Cryogenic processing involves lowering the temperature of an object to sub zero temperatures.
Although some companies claim to cryogenically treat metals at -120 degrees F, the experts in the field agree that it is necessary to go down considerably lower than this in order to reap all the substantial benefits of the process. Equally important to the temperature attained is how that temperature is obtained. Exposing something to a very sudden change in temperature causes adverse residual stresses, cracks, and other problems. It is very important that the temperature of an object be brought down at a controlled rate that is compatible with the material. Our process involves placing an object into chamber at room temperature.
