Nexelia™ for Cryogenic Treatment
Air Liquide offers Nexelia™ for Cryogenic Treatment, a complete all-in-one solution that uses liquid nitrogen to reach low temperature (typically lower than -80°C) during the hardening of metal parts.
It reduces residual austenite by transforming it into martensite while increasing precipitation and distribution of finer carbides in the microstructure during tempering steps.
