Re: Cryogenically Frozen Rotors

I can believe they dunk them in liquid nitrogen which is about 2/3 the way
to absolute zero, but nobody could afford the rotors if they dunk them in
liquid helium.  I kind of wonder how they affect the grain structure of
hardened steal.  I wouldn't waste my money on it.
