What we have here is Failure to communicate.

The issue is one of hardness and brittleness of metals that may or may not result from Cryo and heating. I am referring to both cryo and heat tempering. Isn't that obvious? The OP was worried that heating the metal would destroy the effects of cryo. The answer is no, it wouldn't. However, now that I think about it, thermal shock is an issue for both cryo and heat tempering so I wouldn't try to make any judgements about the success or failure of cryo or heating with solder iron until about a week later. You also failed to grasp the implications of the NASA report, which actually answers the issues with copper and repeated cryo cycling and heat cycling that you were a little fuzzy on.
