Cryogenic deflashing is a form of deflashing used to remove any excess plastic from parts that are molded. As molds wear and age they develop places where flash can occur. Typical areas for flash are along the part including parting lines and edges. Flash can be removed using various deflashing methods.
Cryogenic deflashing utilizes batch processing to remove flash from parts. If thousands of parts are molded at a time and exhibit flash, then they can be processed quite quickly. Parts are processed in a cryogenic deflashing machine that lowers temperatures and shoots media. The lower temperatures allow the flash to freeze and become heavy. Then media is shot at the parts which takes off the flash. Normal cycles are less than 30 minutes.
Cryogenic deflashing offers repeatable results again and again. The surface of the parts are not destroyed or discolored. The only thing that is removed is the flash. Cryogenic deflashing is great for rubber, silicone, various plastics, and some metals. It is also is a cheaper process due to its speed of execution and lot sizes. I have been working with cryogenic deflashing equipment for several years and I can say that they are one of the most cost-effective ways to deflash any part.

Why cryogenic fluid is superior to any other cooling fluid in powered equipments?
due to the high heat generation in powered equipments there is requirement of maintaining the properties of fluid at high temperature hence cryogenic material have better properties.
Why is a cryogenic engine important?
A cryogenic engine is important because it will carry heavy payloads to geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is highly essential for future telecommunication and space exploration. It is able to carry up to five tons compared to the 1.5-ton payload capacity of PSLVs.
How does cryogenic machining work?
Cryogenic machining means cooling down the cutting tool with liquid carbon dioxide or nitrogen to very low temperatures ( -78,5°C or -109,3°F and below). This enables a clean production process without conventional cutting fluid that is hazardous to both the environment and to health.
How does temperature change E for steels?
Going cold, not very much - it may get a 2% higher at cryogenic temps. Going warn, it does decrease by up to 20% as you get to 1000 degrees F ( from 30 Msi to 24 Msi)
What material type used for cryogenics?
Metals not plastics. What is your goal? For the most part metals with some mixture of carbon see the best results from a cryogenic treatment. However, materials such as aluminum, copper, and other metals have had excellent results as well.
