Re: Cryogenic treatment

I too heard some story about annealing the residual stresses, by relieving the residual strains. Somehow since the atoms are compacted the historical stress-strain relationship is lost. That’s what was reported anyway. I thought the only advantage was possibly cold welding of dislocations which probably minimizes their singularities. Some have maintained that the dislocations are eliminated but that seems extremely improbable. Voids are much more likely to exist than rearrangement of all the atoms required to fix the atomic lattice while the thermal kinetic energy is being tapped.
