The deep cryogenic heat treatment is an old and effective heat treatment, performed on steels and cast irons to improve the wear resistance and hardness. This process includes cooling down to the liquid nitrogen temperature, holding the samples at that temperature and heating at the room temperature. The benefits of this process are significant on the ferrous materials, but recently some studies focused on other nonferrous materials. This study attempts to clarify the different behavior of some materials subjected to the deep cryogenic heat treatment, as well as explaining the common theories about the effect of the cryogenic heat treatment on these materials. Results showed that polymers exhibit different behavior regarding to their crystallinity, however the magnesium alloys, titanium alloys and tungsten carbide show a noticeable improvement after the deep cryogenic heat treatment due to their crystal structure.

The temperature dependence of 127I NQR and DSC as well as the crystal structure at room temperature of the title compound were determined. This compound shows a first-order phase transition of an order-disorder type at 245 K. Eight 127I(v1:m = ±1/2 ↔ ±3/2) NQR lines of 79.57, 81.86, 82.56, 83.36, 84.68, 87.72, 88.34, and 88.86 MHz, and corresponding eight 127I(v2: m = ±3/2 ↔±5/2) NQR lines were observed at liquid nitrogen temperature. Three 127I(υi) NQR lines wfth an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 in the order of decreasing frequency were observed just above the transition point and two NQR lines except for the middle-frequency line disappeared around room temperature. This temperature behavior of NQR lines is very similar to that observed in [N(CH3)4]2Hgl4. Another first-order phase transition takes place at 527 K. The structure of the room-temperature phase was redetermined: orthorhombic, Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1342.8(3), b = 975.7(2), c = 1696.5(3) pm. The NQR result of three lines with an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 is in agreement with this structure. The thermal displacement parameters of atoms in both cations and anions are large.

The changes in the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and the electrical resistivity of a very-high-T c superconducting YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ sample during the thermal cycling between the liquid-nitrogen temperature and the room temperature are studied. Some singularities corresponding to the superconducting transition, the possible existence of a super-high-temperature superconducting phase and the migration of the oxygen atoms in the Cu-O chains are emphasized on these dependencies.

AbstractThe microstructure, crystallography and mechanical properties of a wrought (ASTM F-1537) Co-Cr- Mo hip implant alloy were studied in this work. The effects of carbon content, heat treatment and room temperature compression on the above characteristics were also analyzed. Metallography of the asreceived material revealed the presence of ‘twins’ in a relatively fine microstructure with some randomly distributed grain boundary carbides. Heat treatment of the specimens produced a coarser microstructure, more uniformly distributed grain boundary carbides and annealing twins. Neutron diffraction of the specimens, which were deformed at room temperature, exhibited an increase in the volume fraction of the more stable Co-hexagonal closed-packed (HCP) crystal structure, due to a strain-induced transformation (SIT) from the metastable Co-face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure. It was also seen that the higher C specimens, as well as the heat treated specimens, possessed a lower volume fraction of the HCP phase. It was found, through shear punch testing, that the deformed specimens exhibited higher mechanical properties without any significant losses to the ductility of the material.
