What is thermal cycling?

Thermal cycling is an alternative cooling and heating material that increases its strength and performance. This process evokes what is called molecular reorganization, optimizes the molecular structure of the material and increases and more uniform. During this process, most microscopic production defects such as cracks and pockets are removed, improving longevity and stress properties. The metal parts subjected to thermal cycling are also less susceptible to suffer the failure of metal fatigue caused by internal corrosion and vibrations. External corrosion resistance also improves as well as post -production processes such as solder and plating when thermal cycling is applied. The most cast, forged or machined parts have numerous microscopic deficiencies such as fine cracks or cracks, as well as mesimolecular pockets. Although generally too small to be seen with the naked eye, these imperfections are a common source of failure of components as a resultVibration or impact disorders and metal fatigue caused by internal corrosion. One of the most effective ways of removing a significant number of these shortcomings is the thermal cycling process. This process includes repeated cooling or less frequently heating part and then allows it to return to the ambient temperature.

, also known as advanced cryogenics, the temperature modulation process affects tightening or setting the molecular structure of part and removing many, not all, its microscopic shortcomings. The absence of internal cavities and cracks minimizes the chance of developing internal corrosion, thereby part of the strengthening of the manipulation of stress and life. Another advantage of denser and uniform crystalline structures in the metal part is the removal of uneven heating areas or hot spots that ensure optimum cooling characteristics. Elimination of internal shortcomings also makes part more resistant to vibration and sympathyResonance, which further increases resistance to metal fatigue.

However, the advantages of the thermal cycling process do not end there; The treated part also shows better surface properties. This in turn means that part is less likely to suffer from surface corrosion and surface treatment, such as plating, which are applied before thermal cycling, follow better and last longer. The same applies to any silver soldering and soldering carried out before cycling, which also benefits from the thermal modulation process.
