Our
proprietary cryogenic treatment process utilizes
cryogenic liquids to cool the treated material
to temperatures approaching Absolute Zero. At
these extreme temperatures, a number of atomic
changes take place. The atomic structure of the
alloy is refined as dislocations (atomic wedges)
within the lattice are removed. Following this
refinement, the alloy exhibits improved load sharing
characteristics that enhance material life. Furthermore,
strain within the material is reduced and equalized
to give the alloy greater thermal and dimensional
stability. There is also a 100% transformation
of any retained austenite to martensite.

| Documented
Performance: |
| • |
From
a paper converter in Agawam, Massachusetts:
M-2 Lenox knives that were lasting 70 production
hours are now lasting 240 production hours
after cryogenic processing. |
| • |
From
a paper mill in Glens Falls, New York: ductile
iron pumper impeller that was lasting 6-7
months without processing lasts 14 months
with processing. |
| • |
From
a chemical plant in Springfield, Massachusetts:
processing of high-speed steel twist drills
has increased their life by 300%. |
| • |
From
a chemical plant in Waterford, New York: O-1
granulator blades that previously lasted for
100 runs last for 120 runs with processing. |
| • |
From
a metal fabricator in Holyoke, Massachusetts:
M-2 tool steel punch dies that needed resharpening
after 12,000 hits are, with processing, still
like new after 24,000 hits. |

Application: GOLF CLUBS |
| What
major golf equipment manufacturer cryogenically
treats its clubs? |
|
Answer:
Nicklaus
Golf Equipment! |
|
Cryogenically
treating your golf clubs can help add distance
and control to your game! Manufacturing clubs
from cryogenically-treated steel allows weight
to be redistributed with thinner club walls and
faces, which generate superior energy transfer
for greater distance. Nicklaus Golf Equipment
is the first manufacturer to apply cryogenic technology
to its clubs on a large scale, producing a "cryogenic
supersteel" that is 25% stronger and 18%
harder than 6-4 titanium and 28% stronger than
alpha maraging steel.
At
Johnson Packings, we can cryogenically treat your
clubs to give you a similar advantage. The cryogenic
freezing process is also great for other sports
equipment, including baseball bats, tennis rackets
and fish hooks. |
