Thourough cryogenics are performed by first heating the item(s) to 350F, then dropping the temp to -350F and then back to room temp. This is done in temperature changes of about 1 degree/minute...usually computer controlled.
The process restructures/re-aligns the molecules of the item being treated and the results are usually strength and longevity. This includes drill bits, ball bearings, even nylon pantyhose (no more runs when the babe puts them on and hangs on a toe nail).
I know somebody that did a Briggs & Stratton 5HP motor. He said that after the treatment, the engine block machined like T6061 aircraft aluminum.

Had a customer tell me about this process about 5 years ago. I thought about doing it on the side, but never got around to doing the research on the aspect of the business.
But it still hangs in the back of my mind from time to time, becuse some days at work are just the shits.
how many of you guys use this type of service, & what does it cost?

Here is a link to I guess a person who is doing it and is answering questions about it.

I've had good success with cryoing brake rotors. Got a Baer big brake kit for my Trans Am and had them cryoed by 300 Below Inc. (http://www.300below.com). They lasted 15 months/19k miles. Without, the next set went 4 months/4k miles.
