Doesn’t the cold make the material more fragile?
As the temperature drops materials usually become more fragile. However, this behaviour is reversible and when they return to room temperature they regain their previous resistance. On the other hand, to prevent the possibility of causing damage to the material due to sharp changes in temperature (thermal shock); the CRYOBEST® process is performed in specially designed processors with fully controlled gradients. It is a “dry” process in which the components to be treated never come into contact with the liquid nitrogen.
