In this video I check if it is possible to punch through a steel wall if it is frozen with liquid nitrogen. I talk about the science behind freezing metals and test what happens to different metals at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

It's a similar process to forging. If you quench a hot peice in water, the rapid cooling causes it to harden so fast that it can crack or break while if you do it in oil, it cools faster leaving it hard but not so hard that it can crack or shatter with the smallest hit.

In the case of the rebar, It could also be the thickness of the material. Liquid Nitrogon only flash freezes stuff, and the cold doesn't sink in very far. For example if you drop a water balloon in. you can pull it back out peel of the balloon and crack the ice like an egg revealing a still liquid center.

I remember hearing someone that stainless steel was invented to impart resistance to shearing at very cold temperatures! (Stainless name was added after observing the resistance to corrosion)
@facenoise465
2 жыл бұрын
Indeed. Stainless steel has a lower ductile-to-brittle transition temperature(DBTT) than plain mild steel. This would mean that at colder temperatures(still above DBTT), stainless steel would retain its ductile properties hence have greater shear strength than mild steel that may lose its ductile properties at the same temperature.
It's amazing how freezing something with water in it can turn it so brittle.

A lot of this can be explained by the different crystal structures formed by different metals. Face-centered cubic materials have relatively smooth planes between atoms that can slip pretty freely. (Aluminum and austenitic stainless steel, for example) Body-centered cubic materials have ridges on the slip planes that make movement harder. As the material gets colder these move closer and closer together the number of ways in which it can shift in order to accommodate more atoms in a smaller area. Since body-centered cubic materials have far fewer angles that they can deform at, essentially all of the ductility gets "used up".
