Rcwaldo and fredmeister...
No....wrong.....
Cryo treatment is not heating ( Fred) , it's super-cooling....but not to "absolute zero"( rcwaldo)....which basically nothing can reach. Liquid hydrogen comes closest at about minus 434 degreesF.
Cryo treatment almost always uses liquid nitrogen....at a considerably "warmer" minus 320 degreesF.
And cryo treatment does affect molecular grain structure which usually toughens the host material...but I have no direct experience I can point to.
