A356 properties at < -200F
A356 properties at < -200F
(OP)
We have a cast aluminum exhaust for a pneumatic turbine device. What would be the repercussions if it was exposed to < -200 F exhaust for an extended period? There is no cryogenic property information readily avaiable on aluminum. That should be an obvious sign. Thanks.

The fracture toughness data I reviewed was not a concern. However, there are other issues related to corrosion (?)and fatigue crack initiation and propagation in this type of service application. If the above concerns are addressed by proper design, I see no other problems.
