    Cryogenic Hardening Treatment

    Uploaded by

    kedar sharma
    Cryogenic hardening treatment involves slowly cooling steel to around -185°C using liquid nitrogen, holding it at that temperature for up to 24 hours, then slowly warming it through a tempering process. This increases the amount of martensite in the steel, strengthening and hardening it at the cost of some toughness. Key applications include cutting tools, automotive parts, and aerospace components where increased strength is valuable. The process improves wear resistance and lifespan.

    # Introduction #
    1]Cryogenic hardening is a cryogenic treatment process
    where the material is cooled to approximately −185 °C
    (−301 °F), usually using liquid nitrogen.
    2]It can have a profound effect on the mechanical properties of
    certain steels, provided their composition and prior heat treatment are
    such that they retain some austenite at room temperature.
    3] It is designed to increase the amount of martensite in the steel's
    crystal structure, increasing its strength and hardness, sometimes at
    the cost of toughness.
    Process of cryogenic hardening treatment

    Austenitising Quenching Cryotreatment

    Tempering
    #Austenitising#

     Austenitising is one of the heat treatment processes of steel


    and other ferrous alloys where these materials are heated
    above their critical temperatures long enough for
    transformations to take place.
     During austenitizing the final alloying element partitioning
    occurs between the austenite martrix and the retained
    carbides.
    #Quenching#

     Cryogenic hardening is a cryogenic treatment process


    where the material is cooled to approximately −185 °C (−301
    °F), usually using liquid nitrogen. ... More commonly, an
    incomplete transformation occurs in the initial quench, so
    that cryogenic treatments merely enhance the effects of
    prior quenching.
     After CHT there would always be some retained austenite in
    the steel. Which is up to 20-30%.
    #cryotreatment#

     Cooling of tool material fromroom temperature , at an


    extremely slow rate ranging from 0.5 to 1 degree celcius.
     Shallow Cryogenic Treatment (SCT) for the period of 84
    degree celcius.
     Deep Cryo-genic Treatment (DCT) for the period of -196
    degree celcius.

    #Tempering#

     Tempering, in metallurgy, process of improving the


    characteristics of a metal, especially steel, by heating it to a
    high temperature, though below the melting point, then cooling
    it, usually in air. The process has the effect of toughening by
    lessening brittleness and reducing internal stresses.
     Martensite precipitation fine carbide, which are named as
    transition carbide. Nucleation of these carbides relieves micro-
    stresses in the brittle primary martensite and prevents micro
    cracking on surface of the steel.
    #Working#
     During cryo processing, metal is slowly cooled, usually using liquid
    nitrogen. This slow descend to cryogenic temperatures helps prevent
    stress on the material. The metal is kept at this freezing temperature up to
    24 hours before it's brought back up to around 149°C using heat
    tempering.
     Once the metal is submerged or otherwise exposed to liquid nitrogen, its
    temperature begins to drop. The metal is held at a stable, cool
    temperature for up to 24 hours, after which it undergoes a second round of
    heat treatment to minimize brittleness.
     Cryogenic hardening is a cryogenic treatment process where the
    material is slowly cooled to very low temperatures. By using liquid
    nitrogen, the temperature can go as low as −196 °C. It can have a
    profound effect on the mechanical properties of certain materials, such as
    steels or tungsten carbide.
    Advantages of cryogrnic treatment

     Cutting tools for different machining


    operations:saving,milling,drilling,turning.
     Delayed purchase of new tooling.
     Decreased resharpen and rework.
     Less scheduled down time to change tooling.
     Lower labour cost .
    disadvantages

     The vapours and gases released from cryogenic liquids also remain
    very cold.
     They often condense the moisture in air, creating a highly visible
    fog.
     In poorly insulated containers, some cryogenic liquids actually
    condense the surrounding air, forming a liquid air mixture.
     Everyone who works with cryogenic liquids (also known as
    cryogens) must be aware of their hazards and know how to work
    safely with them.
    application
     Aerospace & Defense: communication, optical housings,
    weapons platforms, guidance systems, landing systems
     Automotive: brake rotors, transmissions, clutches, brake parts,
    rods, crank shafts, camshafts axles, bearings, ring and pinion,
    heads, valve trains, differentials, springs, nuts, bolts, washers.
     Cutting tools: cutters, knives, blades, drill bits, end
    mills, inserts. Cryogenic treatments of cutting tools can be
    classified as Deep Cryogenic Treatments (around -196 °C) or
    Shallow Cryogenic Treatments (around -80 °C).
     Mechanical industry: pumps, motors, nuts, bolts, washers.
