Each month we search for an interesting article to give an insight into the various applications for Deep Cryogenic Treatment from across the world.
Below is this month's article...​
Effect of cryogenic treatment on thermal conductivity properties of copper
​
This research confirms our anecdotal evidence of lower exhaust temperatures reported after Cryo treatment. This article also provides an indication as to why we see improvements in sound the quality of copper Hi-Fi cables:
"....any metallic conductor will have developed internal stresses, strains and distorted lattice structure during the machining process. During the cryogenic treatment, the stresses are released resulting in reduced strains. The atomic structure gets refined. These combined effects act favourably for the heat carriers due to reduced scattering effect. This results in an easier path for the heat carriers inside the metal and hence thermal conductivity property gets enhanced. In this experimental study, significant increase in K values has been observed over the entire temperature range when compared with untreated specimens"
