Air Products has licensed its proprietary cryogenic machining technology to MAG IAS, LLC, a leading machine tool manufacturer. The technology license agreement allows MAG to utilize Air Products’ patented cryogen delivery technology and proprietary cryomachining intellectual property—which are designed to mitigate heat generation during the cutting operation thereby enhancing tool life and increasing cutting speeds—along with MAG’s Minimum Quantity Cryogenics (MQC) technology.
“技术许可协议授予了品牌设备的MAG家族的全球权利，” Air Products许可和技术转让经理Jeffrey Knopf说。app亚博体育“ Air Products已保留了注册的商品名称'Icefly'，并将继续销售Icefly®低温加工技术，该技术可以将受控的液氮（LIN）喷射到应用点。空气产品还将继续支持现有的低温加工客户，并在MAG协议之外探索新的许可机会。”
Air Products’ ICEFLY Cryogenic Machining Technology is currently used in the metals machining industry, where it supplies cooling to the cutting tool used to machine difficult materials, such as hardened steels and irons, thermal spray coatings, weld overlays, metal matrix composites, and powdered metals. By replacing dry machining or standard emulsion coolants with a small stream of LIN, ICEFLY Cryogenic Machining Technology can more effectively cool the cutting insert to enable longer tool life and higher cutting speeds, as well as provide a completely clean work environment. The technology can also be readily adapted to a broad range of automated or semi-automated machining operations.
Air Products是低温应用领域的行业领导者，在各种金属加工应用方面开发了广泛的知识和经验。
