Dry Ice Cleaning Systems

Dry ice cleaning is an innovative cleaning technology that can save both time and money in nearly any manufacturing environment. It is similar to other types of media blasting, but the Cold Jet systems use recycled CO2 in the form of dry ice to clean and prepare surfaces. The dry, nonconductive CO2 pellets are accelerated at supersonic speeds through a specialized hose and nozzle. Once the dry ice strikes the surface, the effect of the combination of kinetic energy transfer, thermal shock and gas expansion breaks the bond between the substrate and the contaminant and flushes the contaminant away.

CBN hones for improved surface finishing of machined superalloys

By its very nature, high-nickel, iron or cobalt alloy steels, including Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Invar, Rene and Hasteloy, are some of the most difficult materials to machine. Because these superalloys are designed to deliver high strength at extremely high temperatures in components often found in "hot" sections of engines and turbines, the stresses and heat generated during machining are considerable.
