usually, cryo treatment is the last step in thermal treatment of materials - usually metals. First step is to use a heat treatment to alter christalline structure of materials. Cryo treatment is then use to 'freeze' the structure in the way you created it. An example is treatment of metals for tools.
Cryo treatment alone does not alter anything. You need energy to alter structures. The only thing cryo does is add stress. Not relieve. Cryo treatment of valves for instance is complete bulls***, since a valve is continuously thermal treating itself.
I work for a company specialized in cryogenics (from liquid nitrogen plants for bull semen storage to cooling systems for superconductors). I can only advise to - if you're not sure of what you are doing - not try this at home.
