Cryogenic Processing Cryogenically treated nonferrous metals will exhibit longer wear and more durability. During the metal-making process (aluminum, brass, stainless, and titanium), when solidification takes place, some molecules get caught in a random pattern. But molecules do move about at subzero and deep cryogenic temperatures, albeit slowly. Liken it if you will to water freezing or crystallizing as it turns to ice. The molecules do move and form into a tighter, realigned pattern. When returned to room temperature, the molecules stay in the new relationship producing less random and even spacing, which in turn reduces the open areas between the grid matrixes to one another. The resulting product shows a better wear pattern and a bonding of molecules to one another. This process is a one-time process that treats the part all the way through; it is not just a surface treatment.The other effect is a smoothing action on the surface of the material being processed. During the realignment, the molecules at the surface also are closing ranks which results in a structural change in the surface. The peaks and valleys don't disappear, but they do flatten out considerably. This causes less friction and less wear.
