(OP)
What are the typical types of composites used in cryogenic applications (ex. G10, G11)?  What are their relative costs?

Thank you.

RE: Cryo composites

Very briefly, I've used G10, and many different filled epoxies.  I've tried Nylon also.  These are generally less expensive but the best materials are the filled Teflons.  You can get them with a wide variety of fillers, such as bronze, glass or carbon fibers, etc...  The selection of material depends on the application.
