Cryogenic treatments of tool materials, metals, and alloys have been applied to various industries to improve wear resistance of the materials since the mid-1960s. The cryogenic treatment subjects the ...

Cryogenic treatment is the process of cooling items to cryogenic temperatures (temperatures below −190 °C, 83 K). This removes residual stresses in the material, improving wear resistance in metals ...

Conventional methods for removing flash from injection molded medical parts — hand trimming and, in some cases, die punching — are effective, but they come at a cost. Both are labor intensive, and, in ...
