Deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) is a type of cryogenic treatment, where a metallic material is subjected to temperatures below -150°C, normally to temperatures of liquid nitrogen (-196 °C). When a material is exposed to DCT as a part of heat treatment, changes in microstructure are induced due to new grain formation, changes in grain size, change in the solubility of atoms, movement of dislocations, alteration of crystal structure, and finally new phase formation. The metallic material's performance and later performance of manufactured components and tools from this specific material are dependent on the selection of proper design, proper material, accuracy with which the tool is made and application of proper heat treatment, including any eventual DCT. Metallic materials are ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In the last years ferrous metals (different grades of steel) and non-ferrous alloys (aluminum, magnesium, titanium, nickel etc.) have been increasingly treated with DCT to alter their properties. DCT treatment has shown to reduce density of defects in crystal structure, increase wear resistance of material, increase hardness, improve toughness, and reduce tensile strength and corrosion resistance. However, some researchers also reported results showing no change in properties (toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, etc.) or even deterioration when subjected to DCT treatment. This leads to a lack of consistency and reliability of the treatment process, which is needed for successful application in industry. This review provides a synopsis of DCT usage and resulting effects on treated materials used in automotive industry.

One of the main processes in metal products is heat treatment. However, existing regimes of heat treatment are not suitable for the new gradient metals. This article presents a method of obtaining gradient metallic materials and heat treatment development. Also presents the studies results of heat treatment effect on mechanical properties and metal structure.

Creep cavitation is a life limiting factor in stainless steel high temperature plant. However, regenerative heat treatments offer the potential of sintering creep cavities and thus extending a component’s time to failure. This is countered by thermal aging effects which can lead to precipitate formation and an increased creep rate. This study investigates these behaviours in a AISI Type 316H austenitic stainless steel.

The paper presents results of research on the influence of regenerative heat treatment on structure and properties of G17CrMoV5 – 10 cast steel. Investigated material was taken out from a turbine frame serviced for over 250 000 hours (total service time) at the temperature of 535 oC. The cast steel after service revealed degraded bainitic-ferritic structure and was characterized by mechanical properties ranging below norm requirements. It has been proved that high tempering temperature in the case of cast steel with bainitic structure ensures optimum combination of mechanical properties and impact energy. It has also been shown that ferrite has a negative influence on impact energy of the cast steel with bainitic-ferritic structure.
