Glass-epoxy laminates are characterized by exceptional properties such as high thermal insulation, resistance to mechanical damage, and stability at low temperatures. These crucial characteristics make them suitable for diverse applications, including cryogenics. Their application in cryogenics allows them to maintain low temperatures in research and industrial processes. This article ana-lyzes the effect of cryogenic cycles on the functional properties of composite materials. The study investigated the influence of cryogenic cycles on the mechanical properties of glass-epoxy laminates. Three sets of cycles were employed, each consisting of 1, 5, and 10 cycles. After each set of cycles, the mechanical properties, including impact strength, flexural strength, and Young's modulus, were measured and compared. Additionally, after each series, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to carefully observe the material's surface and detect possible changes in its appearance and structure, such as cracks or deformations. Conclusions from the conducted research provide essential information on the correlation between cryogenic cycles and the functional properties of composites obtained by coating. The research results can be used to design and improve these materials in various industrial applications. This work determines the effect of a different composition of resin reinforced with glass fabric weighing 205 g/m2 on the mechanical properties of composite materials subjected to cryogenic cycles. This research aims to create innovative materials adapted to work in cryogenic environments.

Purpose: Cryogenic engineering is gaining more and more interest in various industry sectors, which leads to an intensive search for effective solutions. The article presents the findings of mechanical testing conducted on glass-epoxy laminates at room temperature and after long- term contact with liquid nitrogen. Design/methodology/approach: To compare the impact properties and flexural strength, the samples were tested under cryogenic and room conditions, and then the fracture locations were identified using the Leica DVM6 microscope. The study brings value to the emerging field of cryogenic engineering by providing valuable information on the mechanical properties of glass-epoxy composites under cryogenic conditions. Findings: It has been found out that immersing the glass-epoxy composites into the Dewar had minimal influence on impact and flexural strength properties. The most noticeable changes were observed in the case of the EP_4_2 composite. The material consists of a solution of brominated epoxy resin in an organic solvent. It is used to produce laminates in electrical engineering and printed circuits in electronics, where it should exhibit excellent impact properties. Research limitations/implications: One of the prospective research directions is a thorough analysis of the mechanical properties of the developed composite materials during cryogenic cycles. Originality/value: The study aims to determine the effect of different compositions of glass fabric-reinforced resin with a weight of 205 g/m2 on the mechanical properties of the developed composite materials at both room temperature and after long-term exposure to liquid nitrogen. Those investigations serve as surveillance for developing of new material solutions directed towards cryogenic applications and are essential for subsequent stages of research.
The wind tunnel with variable Mach numbers controlled by a single jack is highly desired in the aerospace, automobile and building industry due to its superior controllability and working range. Decreasing the temperature of a test gas is an efficient and economical approach to achieving higher Reynolds numbers that accommodate all working statuses of test subjects, which however, brings new challenges to the wind tunnel design nowadays. This paper proposes a new design concept of a single-jack variable Mach number nozzle based on its particular cryogenic characteristics, as the nozzle is the core structure to achieve variable Mach numbers. The contours of the nozzle under different Reynolds numbers and Mach numbers are modeled and solved by an incomplete elliptic integral, followed by modification with cryogenic characteristics. A 0.3-m cryogenic wind tunnel is utilized as a validation platform for the nozzle design, resulting in designed contours being in line with the measured contours. Moreover, the root means square (RMS) deviations of Mach number 1.3 at the core position are controlled within 0.011 in low and high temperatures, which surpasses the other existing wind tunnels.
This work depicts the effects of deep cryogenically treated high-speed steel on machining. In recent research, cryogenic treatment has been acknowledged for improving the life or performance of tool materials. Hence, tool materials such as the molybdenum-based high-speed tool steel are frequently used in the industry at present. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the tool performance in machining; the present research used medium carbon steel (AISI 1045) under dry turning based on the L9 orthogonal array. The effect of untreated and deep cryogenically treated tools on the turning of medium carbon steel is analyzed using the multi-input-multi-output fuzzy inference system with the Taguchi approach. The cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were the selected process parameters with an effect on surface roughness and the cutting tool edge temperature was also observed. The results reveal that surface roughness decreases and cutting tool edge temperature increases on increasing the cutting speed. This is followed by the feed rate and depth of cut. The deep cryogenically treated tool caused a reduction in surface roughness of about 11% while the cutting tool edge temperature reduction was about 23.76% higher than for an untreated tool. It was thus proved that the deep cryogenically treated tool achieved better performance on selected levels of the turning parameters.
