Your application(s) are completely different, and I caution you in applying what you've experienced to current cryogenic processing.
Cryogenics International utilizes its own fully-computer-controlled process, which can both calibrate ramp-down and ramp-up temperatures as finely as 1/4-degree per minute. The longer the ramp-down and ramp-up, as you likely know, the less chance of structural cracking and/or material failure.
CI's processing (for most products) takes a full weekend, starting late Friday afternoon, with completion early Monday. The soak is *at least* 24 hours at -320F., usually more. Engine blocks, camshafts, rifle barrels, and other materials having higher density obvious take a bit longer....but not several days as you suggest. It is the precise control of the process (as mentioned above) that makes the qualitative difference.
