Cryogenic temperature
Cryogenic
• The cryogenic temperature range has been defined as from −150 °C
(−238 °F) to absolute zero (−273 °C or −460 °F), the temperature at
which molecular motion comes as close as theoretically possible to
ceasing completely.
• In the cryogenic temperature range some materials might show Ductile
to Brittle Transition Temperature.

DBTT
Ductile to Brittle Transition Temperature
The ductile brittle transition temperature is the minimum temperature in
which a given material has the ability to absorb a specific amount of energy
without fracturing.

DBTT
• Ductile material shows brittle fracture if it is not absorbing the impact
energy. Its toughness is reduced
• Imact tests such as Charpy, Izod tests are used to find DBTT
experimentally
