In Reply to: Why doesn't warming up un-do the cryo posted by markheadphonium on April 30, 2014 at 11:05:13:
Cryo is somewhat equivalent to heat tempering. It's the cycle of temperature change that makes the material more homogeneous, improving its properties. Thus, repeated cold cycling or repeated heat cycling can do no harm.
