...of changes in grain structure in metals. The process was done on manufactured metal parts. The before shots showed no alignment in structure and the after had alignment. Some cryogenic outlets would give potential customers a BIC style razor to try that had been processed. They typically lasted three times longer.

I had a high performance engine built for my VW camper bus. I had all the critical engine parts cryoed. The claim from the builder was he went 15K miles without the valves needing adjustment with a treated engine. Anyone familiar the Type IV air cooled engine would be impressed.

Very common in all forms of racing. Brake rotors, motors and motor parts, etc. A cast iron motor block typically shrinks 1/4" in all dimensions at 310 below 0F.
Hi, Mike. I was gonna' say, if somebody's cryo'ing valves, they'd better cryo the heads too. And if they cryo the heads, then they'd better do the block, then pistons, then crank, camshaft, bearings, lifters, etc. Otherwise, I speculate an egnine rebuild nightmare.
BTW, thanks for all the cryo'd fuses I've purchased from you.
Thanks for buying the fuses stehno
