[QUOTE="CharlieK, post: 29131, member: 1665"] RBrowning, The link that you provided has so many misconceptions in it that it's pitiful. Cryo treatment might very well produce more martensite and reduce the austenite, which would make the steel harder, but I'm convinced that the reduction in residual stresses actually occurs AFTER the cryo treatment when the temperature is cycled from room temperature to +300ºF and back to room temperature three times. The cryo hype even says that without the final heating to +300ºF and back to room temperature, then there is little or no benefit. Other cryo-treatment hype also claims (not in your link) that music CDs, audio cables, and recording cartridges sound better after being cryo treated. Yeh, right. I waiting for some of the proponents to claim that it cures cancer, too. [ 11-26-2003: Message edited by: CharlieK ] [/QUOTE]
