The cost of one blade (including cost of hardening) =Rs. 215
Size of rotavator =07 Feet
Total number of blades =48
Weight of one blade =1.04 Kg
Number of blades to be cryogenically treated in one lot =5 × 48 = 240
Additional cost for proposed cryogenic treatment on one lot =Rs. 7800
Additional cost/blade =7800/240 = Rs. 32.50
Percentage improvement in wear resistance of blade after cryogenic treatment in comparison with CHT (hardened) =25.7%
Percentage increase in cost per blade due to cryogenic treatment =15.12%
