Wouldn't cryoing cause the gears to be too brittle and shatter?

I thought I'd heard that before. Well, the cryo treatment has been done. Once he's got the motor finished I guess we'll see how they do. At least HE'S the guinea pig and not me...or you either...which is always good, lol.

quote from http://www.cryointegrity.com:

"When done correctly cryogenic tempering boosts tensile strength, toughness and dimensional stability of metals. Please browse our site to find out more about cryogenic tempering including treatment, application and extension of the life of your material components."

also to note:

* Note: We temper afterwards because the cryogenic treatment has a detrimental affect on the fracture toughness (impact properties). Heating the item brings the fracture toughness back to its original state.
