ABSTRACT: Thermal cycling has the potential to decrease operating room costs and thermal necrosis associated with dull cutting tools. Application of this technology may also be relevant to surgical cutting tools such as saw blades, burrs and reamers.

Carbide Cutting Tools


The TTS process is the only process that can increase the life of carbide tooling from 3 to 6 times

Pump Liner


This is a 3,000 pound pump liner used in the pumping of phosrock, a highly abrasive slurry. These pump liners cost in excess of $11,000 each. These liners last 3 months running 24/7. No other technology has been able to increase the life of these liners, Thermal Technology Services developed a process that now allows […]

Concrete Block Molds


Concrete block molds see double the life after the TTS Thermal Cycling process ……………………………………………………………………….

Stump Grinder


Stump grinder teeth see 5 times life increase …………………………………………………………………………………………………….. .

Road Milling Equipment


Milling cutters used for road surface preparation see the most severe conditions of any tool in any application. The barrels that support these tools and that the tool are mounted to require a long changeover time. Usually there are from 170 to 200 cutters on one barrel, in many cases all cutters may have to […]

Wood Cutting Blade


The photo shows a 24 inch carbide tipped wood cutting blade, before the TTS process 30 days life, after treatment 7 months…………………………………………

Corrosion Resistance


On certain materials the TTS process optimizes the grain structure to minimize or completely stop rust. The photo shows 2 brake rotors, both placed on the same vehicle at the same time. This vehicle is used in a highly abrasive atmosphere. Both rotors were removed after 60 days. One had severe penetrated corrosion the TTS rotor had […]
