WHAT IS METAL CRYOGENICS?

Metal cryogenics involves the study of the behavior of metals at extremely low temperatures. When metals are cooled to cryogenic temperatures (typically below -150°C or -238°F), their physical properties can change significantly. It is utilized to transform retained austenite from a hardening procedure into martensite. Austenite is a form of iron that exists at high temperatures. It is one of the primary phases of steel and plays a crucial role in its properties. In particular, austenite is stable at temperatures above about 727°C (1,340°F) and can hold more carbon than other iron phases, which contributes to its strength and ductility. Martensite is a hard, brittle phase of steel that forms when austenite is rapidly cooled, or quenched. Martensite is a crucial component in many high-strength steels and is commonly found in tools, structural components, and various other applications requiring high performance.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • Many metals become stronger and more ductile when cooled, which can enhance their performance in certain applications.

  • Some metals can become more brittle at cryogenic temperatures, which might affect their structural integrity.

  • Certain metals and alloys exhibit superconductivity at cryogenic temperatures, allowing them to conduct electricity with zero resistance. This property is critical in applications like MRI machines and particle accelerators.

  • Cryogenic temperatures can affect thermal conductivity, which is important in applications requiring efficient heat dissipation.
