Cryogenics

Cryogenics is a secondary cooling process that exposes ferrous materials to drastic subzero temperatures, typically as low as -320°F. This is done to either impart or enhance existing properties or conditions of the material, or to eliminate retained austenite in carburized parts. Benefits include increased strength, improved wear resistance, greater dimensional or micro-structural stability, and relief of residual stress.
