Response (2 of 2) There is actually an industry out there supported by university studies that provides evidence that cryogenically treated cutting tools improve their tool life. (search cryogenically treated tungsten carbide) This suggests what we have experienced, that liquid nitrogen has a positive tool performance affect rather than a negative one. Thanks for your question; let us know if we can be of further help.

Response (1 of 2) That is a valid question, one which we also asked in the initial cryogenic machining development process. The scientific answer is that face centered cubic material structures are not negatively affected by cryogenic temps. which covers the nickel & cobalt binders found in carbide. We have never witnessed carbide edge failure due to brittle edges; on the contrary we have seen significant and sometimes astonishing increases in tool life.

Strange, I would have thought the extreme cold would make the tools brittle...
