I used to change my Zenith Slitter blades every 21-28 days. Now I changes them every 43 days!
Noticeable difference in wear. Less time changing knives. 2 to 3 times longer life. Less grinding to resharpen.
Trenching teeth for digging trenches for highway underdrain systems lasted 1½ times longer.
D-2 dies were normally line-side polished 17 times in four months... after Cryo treatment, once in three months.
Greatly enhanced performance of calendar knives and Cameron cutter knives from every 1½ months to once a year.
It saves labor and time and doesn't change the properties as far as being able to resharpen the tools.
Treated end mills maintain better cutting edge capabilities giving a 5 to 1 ratio over non treated tooling.
We used 3-4 cobalt roughing end mills for a 60 piece run. After cryo we used 1 tool to run all 60 parts.
Treated slitter knives cutting corrugated paper went from lasting 2 weeks to 4-5 weeks after cryogenic treatment.
Average life for untreated Stanley #11-911 blades was 4-5 days. Treated blades are lasting 8-14 days.
Are you tired of spending big bucks for new, unwarranted baseball bats only to have them go "flat" after a few home runs?
The cryogenic process consists of super cooling the bat shell to -300°F at a slow rate then held there for 10 hours.
