Cryogenic Treatment of Materials
- Thread starter weed78
- Start date
Yes. The rate of decrease of temperature in true cryogenic processing should be slow. Dunking the part in liquid creates a very fast decrease in temperature which causes micro cracks or even macro cracks. Research out of Russia indicates that metals treated by dunking have only a ten percent chance of increased wear resistance.
