Cryogenic deburring

Cryogenic deburring is a process for removing burrs and unwanted material deposits from workpieces. It is based on the use of extremely low temperatures, usually by introducing liquid nitrogen or other cryogens to affect the material.

During cryogenic deburring, workpieces are placed in a cryogenic chamber where they are exposed to the extremely low temperatures. This causes the material, especially metal, to become severely hardened and brittle. The workpieces are then mechanically processed to remove the burrs. This can be done by grinding, breaking or other suitable processes.

A major advantage of cryogenic deburring is that it helps extend tool life and improve the quality of machined parts. It is particularly useful in industries such as aerospace, medical and automotive, where precision machined parts are critical.

In addition, cryogenic deburring can be more environmentally friendly than some other deburring methods, as it often does not involve the use of harmful chemicals. However, it is important to ensure that the procedures are carried out properly to minimize safety risks and guarantee the quality of the processed workpieces.
