OTHER APPLICATIONS
So, where else can cryogenic treatment be used? That's easy - almost everywhere! Cryogenics is used to treat many types of sports equipment, the most common being golf clubs. Because cryogenics increases the molecular density of treated materials,
it improves the distribution of energy (in this case kenetic energy) through the object. The treatment also increases the rigidity of the metal, which in this case might affect the shaft of the golf club.
Combined, the increases in kenetic energy distribution and rigidity of the shaft make for a longer and straighter drive. Basically, the club has significantly less give, so the performance increases. This type of treatment can be used on many other types of sports equipment where the same
energy and rigidity characteristics would benefit the user.
Cryogenics is also used to treat many types of musical instruments. Because treated materials are denser, the surface area of an object is affected. Inside the instrument, the surface is smoother than an untreated instrument. This
change in surface characteristics changes the quality of sound that the instrument can produce. In most cases, a crisper, clearer sound is acheived, especially amongst the brass section of instruments. The same type of effect can also be useful in stringed instruments
by treating the strings themselves. There really is no end to the numerous ways cryogenics can assist, both at work and at play.
