When 5ME Cryogenic Machining was brought in to help cut large titanium parts on Lockheed Martin’s F-35 program, productivity really took off. Not only did the patented system increase cutting speeds by 2x, but the aerospace giant realized a 30-percent reduction in costs.
This is on top of producing improved surface integrity, improved part quality and a reduced white layer. It’s just another example of how 5ME’s revolutionary Cryo system is changing the definition of manufacturing efficiency, even with traditionally tougher materials.
