The Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. announces a new cryogenic treatment service that is specially tailored for racing and other high performance enthusiasts.Cryogenic treatment of racing parts benefits the components in several ways. First, residual stresses from part fabrication are removed, greatly reducing distortion, warping and fatigue failures that are caused by crack propagation of stress lines. Second, steel components adopt a uniform grain structure, eliminating imperfections that improve thermal properties such as heat dissipation.

Structural metals are everywhere and, being a widely used commodity, new developments are often constrained by practical considerations like large-scale production and price. In an age where nanomaterials are turning materials science and engineering upside down, progress in metallurgy is often deliberate and incremental.But innovative work in metallurgy that has the potential to scale to industry and can be applied to multiple alloy systems is a varity indeed.
