The mechanical properties of many materials have been enhanced via cryogenic treatment, which is a cold temperature process performed after traditional heat treatment. In this research the effect of cryogenic treatment on GRCop-84 was examined. Cryogenically and non-cryogenically treated samples were tested identically to determine whether cryogenic treatment has a significant affect on the thermal conductivity of GRCop-84. Optical and electron microscopy were used to characterize the material properties. Cryogenic treatment includes a temper that appears to be responsible for the enhancements observed in GRCop-84.
