This is a very general question.

Cryogenic freezing works depending on what materials you are trying to freeze, what problem you are trying to solve, and what kind of results you are expecting.

Cryogenics works well on metals. It works best on steels with high carbon contents. It also works quite well on aluminum.

If you are having wear problems, dimensional stability problems, fatigue problems, cracking failures then cryogenic treatment could be a good solution for your problem.

Often these problems are fixed completely. Sometimes, life can even be increased 100% to 300% for certain parts.

At the present time it is impossible to cryogenically freeze someone alive. No way exists at present to take the cells of the human body much below the freezing point of water and bring that person back. Ice crystals form and destroy human cells.

Is cryogenic freezing related to nitrogen?

Cryogenic freezing is certainly related to nitrogen. In order to complete a deep cryogenic treatment a cryogen must be used. The least expensive cryogen for deep freezing is liquid nitrogen. Another cryogen is helium which allows special made cryogenic processors to reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.


Has cryogenic freezing been proven to work on any living thing?

Yes, on amphibians, reptiles and the like. No humans yet.

What is cryogenic surgery?

The selective exposure of tissues to extreme cold, often by applying a probe containing liquid nitrogen, to bring about the destruction or elimination of abnormal cells/ cancer.

What is cryogenic agent?

Cryogenic freezing- is freezing the outer layers of the food beyond its freezing point while the inner part of that product remains warm, Its basically done to preserve foodorCryogenics is the branch of physics and engineering that involves the study of very low temperatures- how to produce it and how materials behave at those low temperatures.

No. Freezing destroys the cells.

What is cryogenic freezer?

A cryogenic freezer is used to bring components inside the freezer down to cryogenic temperatures. Many cryogenic freezers are available for all sorts of applications. Cold boxes with added ln2 capabilities can refrigerate parts and then complete cryogenic processing cycles. Additionally, cryo freezers are available to freeze sex cells, stems cells, and more. Sometimes people are frozen after death, which is called cryonics. I have added a site below that has cryogenic freezers and processors available.
