In Reply to: Mudcat, can you ask your colleagues take a look of the "link" and see what they say? Thanks. (nt) posted by Kyu on October 31, 2004 at 20:20:11:
I am not in the least impressed with the facility they have, nor with their capabilities, nor the writeup..I have to walk around facilities that are far larger, far more efficient, for both liquid nitrogen, as well as liquid helium...but we liquify helium here, buy the nitrogen already so..The web page does not meet my standards...
Had it been better setup, perhaps I would have been impressed...
OH, you mean what do I think about the process?...Oh, that's different :-)
They appear to have culled out a steel process wording, note the martensite/austenite wording. Those terms are for steel microstructure as far as I know, I've not seen it applied to non ferrous materials..
The microstructure change is not unusual, IMHO..
Lowering the slew rate for actual components is realistic, as all plastics have problems with cooldown because the outer skin will tend to crack before the inner can shrink, this due to the thermal conductivity (resistance) of plastics, combined with their TCE.
While seemingly nice eye candy for non technical people, it really doesn't float my boat scientifically. I get the feel that they do indeed understand the proces issues inherent in cryogenic treatments, so see no reason not recommend them...but they produce little in the way of an understanding of how the process could affect audio components..(how could they, they are cryo treaters)..
Cheers, John
