What is the Shrink Fitting process?
Shrink fitting services is a mechanical assembly method that uses extreme cold to temporarily reduce the size of a metal component. By cooling parts such as nozzles or bushings with liquid nitrogen, the metal rapidly contracts. Once it reaches the desired size, the part is inserted into its mating component, like a valve body. As the metal warms back to ambient temperature, it expands to form a tight, interference fit. The shrink fitting process eliminates the need for welding, creating a secure, pressure-resistant joint without affecting the material’s structural integrity. View our recent case study.
What is Cryogenic Shrink Fitting Services?
It’s a method of joining two components by using extreme cold, often with liquid nitrogen. One part is cooled until it contracts, then fitted into place. As it returns to normal temperature, it expands and locks tightly. Industries like aerospace, aviation, and heavy engineering rely on it for durability and accuracy.
