Free Webinar -The Science of Deep Cryogenic Treating: Metallic and Non-Metallic Materials
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 2:00 pm – 4:00pm
Eastern Daylight Time (New York, GMT-04:00)
Deep Cryogenic Treating (processing of metals below –244 degrees F) is making serious inroads into both consumer and industrial markets. Some of its applications defy the conventional logic that its only effect is to convert retained austenite to martensite. Does this process work?
Find out as Roger Jones, Corporate President, 91´«Ã½ Incorporated, facilitates this informative, FREE Webinar: The Science of Deep Cryogenic Treating: Metallic and Non-Metallic Materials.
This webinar presents and includes discussion on the following:
• Overview of recent worldwide research
• A look inside a new database of research maintained by the Cryogenic Society of America with cooperation from ASM International
• Literature and applications review by Air Liquide U.S. LP and Controlled Thermal Processing, Inc.
Case studies:
-A striking application that illustrates this is the treatment of automotive brakes. Common brake rotors are pearlitic cast iron, without austenitic content. Yet field applications of deep cryogenic treatment increased the life of brake rotors by a factor of two to four times.
-In a similar manner, carbide cutting tools, mechanical gears and electronics, some plastics, all show interesting effects that are not supported by the conventional theories as to why the process works.
Presenters include Rozalia Papp, Business Development Specialist, Air Liquide Industrial U.S. LP; Rick Diekman, President/Owner, Controlled Thermal Processing, Inc.; and James Fesmire Sr. Principal Investigator, Cryogenics Test Laboratory at NASA Kennedy Space Center.
