MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES All materials do not work satisfactorily at cryogenic temperatures. Properties undergo a tremendous change from room temperature down to cryogenic temperatures. Mechanical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties are most affected. At cryogenic temperatures, properties of concern include permeability, thermal conductivity, specific heat, linear thermal expansion, thermal expansion coefficient,…
