I bought some HSS stub drills, and treated half of them with liquid nitrogen, which improved their wear resistance dramatically. I also look at the change in microstructure with an electron microscope.

Haha showing off all the cool tools in this one. Very interesting!
Has a DeLorean. Doesn't have a collet wrench.
How awesome to just have a scanning electron microscope sitting around
"I happen to have a DeLorean"
*huh, interesting*
"I happen to have a liquid nitrogen generator"
*mild irritation and jealousy*
"I happen to have a scanning electron microscope"
*rage quit... also subscribe.*
@chippchipp1 doesn't everyone?
Dude same. Im wondering what he does for work now!!!
@D Garland dang that's rough buddy, I feel ya.
Let's be honest with ourselves, and and join me in admitting that he makes better use of these things than any of us could.
@Random Entity Oh! No question! Completely agree!
Tempering and hardening of only certain parts is a common practice. So just putting the tip of the drill bit into the nitrogen to allow it to get as hard as possible but allowing the shaft to remain softer/less brittle.
It's a slow process inside an insulated space. While I'm not sure, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the bit was thermally conductive enough for this to not matter all that much.
The rare occasion that 'just the tip' is preferable :)
Cool to see you using the Pax Instruments logger. I hung out with Charles Pax in Shenzhen while he was developing it. It's a pretty slick piece of kit, but I haven't seen many people using them.
no reply, why not :-)
I suspect the Venn diagram of people with DeLoreans and people with electron microscopes is a single circle.
@Bong Jovi Huh? That's how I always pronounce the prefix "giga", even on "gigabytes"... though admittedly I'm not a native English speaker, and pronunciation in my native language is closer to "jigga" (but not quite, it's a sound that doesn't exist in English).
The most accurate words i have ever read
dont forget the cryo generator
@Bong Jovi y no call it SHISHABITES?
@RFC3514 oh wow... Wikipedia says it's true and there's no way just ANYONE could edit a Wikipedia page to say whatever the fuck they want...
Fantastic video! For years I used a thermos for liquid nitrogen. It works fine as long as you leave the cap loose to vent gas.

"...luckily, I have a Hadron Collider in my basement, right between the Gravitational Wave Detector's tunnels and the Neutrino Detector's cave, so I took a few shots of the Higgs..."
FYI Interferene of your Haddon Collider distorts neutrino count data squared to the distance
I took a few shots of Ardbeg.
I'll just pull out my portable fusion reactor for this test. Lol
@Nathan S That's on the Delorean
Large hardon collider
“But lucky for us, I have a scanning electron microscope...”
I was already impressed by the liquid nitrogen machine god damn
When I heard that I was like:.. O_o WAT?
@Thorwald Johanson being a chemist i was like What???
yes dude, I also thought I need a liquid nitrogen machine...ma so jealous now :D
"I hope I answered questions you've had for a long time, too." Ben, you answer questions most of us never even knew to ask. But I'm super glad you do.
"One of its many weird quirks and features"
Someone else watches Doug 🤔
I came down to the comments to search if there's someone like me who could catch that phrase! "Quirks and Features" 😅
"🤔" 🤣🤣
THIS is my 1983 DMC DeLorean...
I got a good laugh out of the "if you don't have a cryo cooler" comment. Lol. Very cool video
"Heaven forbid" 😁
Yeah, since Ben's video these are now very expensive (though Ben also got lucky), so "magical unobtainium" as tesla500 said.
“Lucky for us, I have a scanning electron microscope” ... ultimate flex
"Titanium-coated, long life Cryo-dipped, flux capacitor!"
combining two extremes eg hot/gold leads to ubermensch. same example for your health if you combine onion with honey and drink the (slowly produced) juice from the bottom.
I could send that Delorean's ignition timing into the future with my prototype.
“If you don’t have a cryo cooler, heaven forbid”
Best line from the video: “....but lucky for us, I happened to have a scanning electron microscope.” 😂
Going to dip my self in nitrogen now. 2x life here I come :D
I would love to say that just once. "Luckily I have a scanning electron microscope..."
"I happen to have SEM" - Stop bragging and take my Sub!
Welcome to the joys of metallurgy.
Look into explosion welding. And artificial Ruby's for more fun
I’ve been interested in cryo treatment for a while now, so I really enjoyed this video.
I want to build a LN2 generator, but I can’t find the cold head you used and I don’t know enough about how to power it. A more in-depth how-to in your build process would certainly be appreciated!
Cool, Amazing gear! You know there's a coffee grinder that comes with nitro treated burrs, comandante c40 is it's name
One of the most interesting vids I've seen in a while! Thank you!
You have a DeLorean. I didn't think I could like this channel any more than I already do
in the mid 2000s i saw a DeLorean at a local dealship for a few grand. I told my wife all excited that we should get it. She looked at me with a vacant stare.
Needless to say, 48 hours later it was sold.
I thought he was going to show off a flux capacitor, and tell us thats where his liquid nitrogen generator came from.
Shitty old car
@Amipotsophspond
"Great Scott Marty"
I'm more impressed by the electron microscope
Amazing! I had never heard of cryogenically treating drill bits or steel. Does it also work with stainless steel?
once again, I cannot stress out enough how much I love your vids. Thank you
"I should have gone through and blinded myself", try to avoid that please. ;)
That's how I want to be when I'm his age! I hope he's older than he looks though!
I liked the part where you DECLARED THE RESULTS AT THE START OF THE VIDEO.
Truly applied science.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed watching the whole video! I just enjoyed it more not having to worry about waiting/looking for the results.
Almost like an abstract, then a hypothesis, procedure, data, analysis, and conclusion?!
Yeah, love how he just does mind blowing videos, and avoids all the clickbait!
His videos are so full of interesting information that there is no need for abusive suspense and clickbaiting.
That's exactly how it should be for REFERENCE MATERIAL.
I wonder if there's some kind of heat treating x cryo combo that would work even better
Thank you for this video! My 5th grade teacher talked about this process years ago, and I've never been able to find anything to validate what he said.
I learn so much cool stuff from this channel. Thank you, and keep the videos coming! :)
I could send that Delorean's ignition timing into the future with my prototype.
I literally fell off my chair when you said you had a DeLorean. :) Have you tried dropping the treated drill bit to see if it breaks?
8:59 "10^8 seconds" lol, that is a comical combination of a small unit and a large number
Your channel is my favorite science related channel, and it keeps my passion for such things alive!
4:38 Haha yeah its so easy, let me just go rev up my fridge to liquid nitrogen temps.
This video popped up on my feed today, and I've watched a few more videos. Can't get enough, really fascinating channel!
"...lucky for us we have a scanning electron microscope." Love it!
i never knew this was a thing, Fascinating!
I did indeed find this extremely interesting. Great topic. Thanks!
"Luckily for me, I have a time machine." - Ben Krasnow
"Say, Professor McGonagall, did you know that time-reversed ordinary matter looks just like antimatter? Why yes it does! Did you know that one kilogram of antimatter encountering one kilogram of matter will annihilate in an explosion equivalent to 43 million tons of TNT? Do you realise that I myself weigh 41 kilograms and that the resulting blast would leave A GIANT SMOKING CRATER WHERE THERE USED TO BE SCOTLAND?"
Today on Applied Science we'll be retrofitting a Delorean with a portable fusion device.
Hey! I made that temperature data logger! :-)
Absolutely amazing breakdown
Awesome thank you sharing it! Cheers!
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time ,.really
"I have a delorean... I have a cryo cooler... I have a SEM..."
I have nothing but jealousy!
So what? I don't see any flux capacitor.
Just trying to be an educator here.
"You can feel envy about something you don't have but want, but you feel jealousy over something you already have but are afraid of losing"
So you feel envy when seeing all the toys he's got and wanting them yourself.
You would feel jealousy when he's using your toys and there is a risk that they somehow stop being your toys in the future.
Shaun Stephens if you don’t have the go get them I assure this guy wasn’t born with this things
@afrocatpro 😁😂
@1959Berre You're saying you have a flux capacitor?
I wish you were my dad, very intresting video, regards
i love that you included a shot of the ice crystals. Imo that shows your love for science
This Old Tony - 2019-09-06
great video as always... answered a few questions I've always had.
They laughed at me when I told them my drills were being cryogenically frozen with me.
Baard2000 - 2020-11-24
@James Dills Taking it so long before the market embraces a new proces was one of the reasons that made me decide leaving the heat treatment industry.....
Travelled in 1996 to Böhler in Austria to discuss a proces I was working on. The answer was clear , I quote : if only 25 percent of what you state is achieved ....Böhler can scrap the recently bought powder metallurgic plant in Sweden as this will make PM steels almost obsolete......
Well...That was clear answer..please go home as we will not work on this proces...
Also the heat treatment plant I was working had not the intention working on it...
James Dills - 2020-11-24
@Baard2000 Love to hear more about your process! We love hearing and looking at industrial efficiencies.
Baard2000 - 2020-11-24
@James Dills In 1993 I started working for a company which produces molds for the sand-lime brick industry. Sand pressed with high pressure in molds to form bricks. Sand and steel...no good match..haha...
Anyway they needed a more constant proces replacing the dirty powder carburising proces. So I have researched lots of processes . In which the 4 big goals had to be met : equal quality of parts , same price of proces , capable of 1200 metric tons of steel ( loads of surface area )and long term stability preventing deforming even when simply stored for years on the shelve.
After 1 year I stumbled on the plasma carburising proces. Which was just out of the research departement of Ipsen / University Aachen. After 1 year of experimenting it resulted for Ipsen in building the biggest plasma vacuum carburising furnace in the world with a plasma generator of 1200 Amperes. This build lastet 1 year and in that time I connected the dots in steel , alloys and this new proces. But the company had no interest in increasing quality as that would result in less turnover ...... Böhler sent me home also , for other reasons....
I could go into more details ....but this is not the place.....

Tony, I watch your videos and enjoy them and respect your knowledge. I can't say the same for this video however. People should refrain from making videos about technical subject matter when they really don't know anything about what they are showing about. This video is full of erroneous information. He make to many mistakes to address in the time I care to dedicate to it. I am a metallurgist and spent my career in heat treating aerospace parts. The key to the improvement in properties due to cryogenic processing is due to the improvement in the crystal lattice structure. "Crystal lattice" is never mentioned in this video. The only useful information is that cryogenic processing improves the properties of some metals. Forget everything else that was said.
James Dills - 2020-12-14
@Alan Rachman As much as your comments are correct... Many out there aren't scientists... There are many more reasons Cryogenic processing helps increase the wear resistance of all metals including some carbon based plastics. Higher up in the grain structure there are important changes like stitching of the boundary layers between alloys, growth of certain alloying elements that are instrumental as well. I think these videos are stellar. Most people don't understand the process and these types of videos make it simple enough to inform people of the practical uses. After spending many years in the industry I can attest that it takes practical proof to show how well this process works...especially when we've seen between 4x to 11 times the life on components
