Cryogenic treatment (CT) of materials has shown significant improvement in their properties. Various advantages like increase in wear resistance, reduced residual stresses, increase in hardness, fatigue resistance, toughness imparted by transformation of retained austenite to martensite, precipitation of carbides, eta-carbide formation, perfect distributed/homogenous crystal structure, better thermal conductivity, and reduced chemical degradation. Moreover, this technology is an eco-friendly, nontoxic, and nonexplosive. Different approaches have been applied for CT to study the effect on different types of steel and other materials. In recent years, researchers have tried to evaluate the process to optimize the parameters. This paper brings out the comprehensive analysis of the strategies followed in CTs and their significant effects on properties of materials by differentiating CT from cryogenic conditioning of the process. The final part of the paper discusses the developments and outlines the trends for further research in this field.
