Abstract


This technique focuses on the application ofCryocooling in two different areas of garment manufacturing machine parts,namely


  • Increasing the durability of the garment cutting knives


  • Increasing the durability of the garment sewing needles

This technique starts from the purchase ofcutting knives and sewing needles. Then the materials were given cryogenictreatment. Cryogenic treatment is the process of converting the austenite state(malleable) of the materials to the martensite state (tough). Such that theprocessed materials have increased wear resistance, increased toughness, andreduced brittleness, but are not too much harder. This results in the extensionof the durability of cutting knives and sewing needles. We estimated the life extensionof cutting knives and sewing needles by comparing the treated and untreatedknives and the treated and untreated sewing needles were used in the garmentindustry.


Introduction


Nowadays the developments in the textilescenario, focuses on the production of a better quality product at lower cost.With the above theme the industry people compete among themselves for a betterreturn on their investment. The technique also demonstrates the savingsobtained by the industry with the implementation of cryogenic treated knivesand sewing needles in garment machinery parts. As regards the quality at lowercost concept mentioned above, we are at the halfway point with regards to thistechnology. That is, the lower production cost by the increased life of knivesand sewing needles parts has been demonstrated. And the statistical analysesabout the performance of machinery parts were installed in a garment industrywith cryogenic treated knives and needles. Further our study can move towardsthe application of this process to other textile machinery parts; which can becryogenically treated to extend their life and also to enhance their workinglife. With this in view, sewing machine and metallic parts used in the garmentindustry have been brought into the preview of this treatment as a second partof this technique.
