Penguin Mascot Boasts Cryo Characteristics

The penguin is generally thought of as the symbol of cryogenics because of its relationship to the cold, but there is another reason. The bones of penguins are solid, not hollow like other birds which makes them much stronger. Similarly, the process of cryogenics increases the density of existing materials to make them more solid and stronger.


Time Tested Process

The process of cryogenics is as old as the watch! Ages ago, Swiss watchmakers stabilized the delicate components of their timepieces by storing them in mountain caves. They left them there for three years or more, but wound up with superior
parts. Cryogenic treatment is one of the trade secrets of Swiss watch-making, and one of the primary reasons that timepieces produced in that country have a reputation for excellence.

Ten-Fold Wear Life Increases Found in Welding Applications

Welcome

For Bill Denny of Nelson Manufacturing, the proof that cryogenics works was not difficult to notice. When he updated his aluminum welding process with new zinc alloyed z-trade tips from copper tips, he saw a mild improvement in their wear life. But to further improve the process, he gave 300 Below's cryogenic tempering service a try. He has noted a ten-fold increase with the treated tips!
