- Increase resistance to abrasive wear - Requires only one permanent treatment - Changes the entire grain structure of the metal, not just the surfaces - Refinishing or regrinds do not affect permanent improvements - Eliminates thermal shock through a dry, computer controlled process - Transforms most retained austenite to hard martensite - Forms micro-fine carbide fillers to enhance carbide structures - Increases durability and wear life - Decreases residual stresses in tool steels - Decreases brittleness - Increases tensile strength, toughness and stability - Relaxes internal stresses - Works on new or used tools - Reduced down time, less maintenance and higher productivity - Deep cryo processing is compatible with other treatments - (Tin, Chrome, Teflon etc.) High alloy steel cutting tools stay sharper longer, fewer micro-cracks, less chipping - Results in the orderly arrangement of crystals, increases internal bonding energy, and achieves a structural balance throughout the mass of the material
