Cryo-Treatment & REM ISF® saves money

The Stonebridge Cryoscience Cryo-Treatment process more than doubles the toughness and durability of all metals, ferrous and non-ferrous. It utilizes a NASA developed computer controlled deep-freezing and annealing pro...

Extended Wear Resistance & longer life

Extended Wear Resistance & longer life

Longer part life + Reduced failure rates + Fewer fuel and lubricant requirements = Increased value and reduced total ownership costs.

Complete Stress Relief

Complete Stress Relief

The cryogenic process allows molecular redistribution in a uniform fashion, relieving the stresses introduced by manufacturing and machining

Reduced Friction Vibration & Noise

Reduced Friction Vibration & Noise

REM ISF is a chemical - mechanical process that sequentially removes the "peaks" of a ground, cut or honed finish while leaving the "valleys" unaffected. The end result is a dramatically improved surface finish with ins...

Better Power Production

Better Power Production

Less friction and heat result in better power production reducing the mechanical drag of drivetrain components

The Stonebridge Cryoscience Cryo-Treatment process more than doubles the toughness and durability of all metals, ferrous and non-ferrous. It utilizes a NASA developed computer controlled deep-freezing and annealing process which improves wear life and resistance to breakage.  Cryo-Treatment is a one time metal improvement process stemming from NASA’s discovery of the amazing strengthening effects created by extremes of cold and heat on space and satellite vehicles.  Read More

 

ISF® stands for Isotropic Superfinish. The ISF Process is a unique patented process that generates a non directional low Ra surface. It employs mass finishing equipment in conjunction with accelerated refinement chemistries that are non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. Among its many benefits, an ISF surface reduces friction and wear, increases part durability, and improves corrosion resistance. Read More

Used together, both processes give the ultimate in strength, durability, and longevity to all components treated.

Motor PartsThe processes have proven applications in many industries including:

  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Gearing & Bearings
  • Medical
  • Military
  • Motorsports
  • Off-highway
  • Power Generation
 

Cryo-Treatment

Cryo-Treatment Basics

The Cryogenic process supplements conventional heat treatment, completing the metallurgical changes that the tempering/quenching begins. This process is ideal for providing extended wear and durability as well as increasing the stress relieving properties of metal parts and tooling. Read More

Cryo-Treating Process

Parts are loaded into a sealed ultra-insulated chamber where a computer controls the introduction of liquid nitrogen (LN2) at a rate that allows cooling the chamber to a rate of 1 degree per minute. The cooling is achieved by evaporation, not immersing parts in the LN2, it is a dry process. Read More

REM ISF

REM ISF Benefits

The REM Isotropic Superfinish (ISF) Process is a value adding and performance enhancing improvement to conventional machining operations such as grinding and lapping. The extensive benefits of the ISF Process add value and improve performance across a wide range of industries. Read More

REM ISF Process

It is a chemical - mechanical process that sequentially removes the "peaks" of a ground, cut or honed finish while leaving the "valleys" unaffected. The end result is a dramatically improved surface finish with insignificant dimensional change of the part. Read More
