The use of cryogenic treatment (CT) to improve mechanical properties of materials has been
developed from the end of the Sixties. At the present time, the initial mistrust about CT has …

Cryoprocessing, a supplementary process to conventional heat treatment process, is the
process of deep-freezing materials at cryogenic temperatures to enhance the mechanical …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used for the manufacturing of tools and dies; in
this respect, apart from the optimization of processing parameters, it is important to establish …

The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic, complementary research of deep
