Ajax High Temperature
Inert Salt Bath

The High Temperature salt bath is one of the stations where our heat treat hardening process is performed. This is an inert salt mixture, meaning it does not impart or take chemicals away from the steel. The scissors are suspended on rods, dipped into the 1980 degree F salt, held at that temperature for 4 minutes and then cooled rapidly by immersing in oil. From there all our scissors are placed in a cryogenic chamber, Ice Tempered in other words, at -120 degrees F for 24 hours. The Ice Tempering process imparts added strength to the scissors while increasing it's ductility. This station (not shown) is much like a home chest type freezer, with the exception of having better insulation and a two stage compressor to be able drop and maintain such a low temperature.
