Cryogenic Treatment of Materials
Cryogenic Treatment of Materials
(OP)
I tried this posting in the Cryogenic Engineering forum but received no replies so I will ask my question here.
Is there a significant difference in the final wear properties of tool steel materials cryogenically treated in liquid vs vapor?

RE: Cryogenic Treatment of Materials
What matters is the temperature.
You might use dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) at -78.5 C or
liquid nitrogen at -196 C.
It depends on the amount of austenite present and on its stabilization, that may make it harder to transform.
