    There is a mention of the process in the book: M. Sittig: “Cryogenics—Research and Applications”, D. van Nostrand Col, Princeton NJ (1963), pp.203-206.

    On page 204: ‘A variety of low-temperature steel working which is carried out on a welded and fabricated vessel is called Ardeforming. The process is named after the developer, Arde-Portland, Inc., Paramus NJ.’ On page 205: ‘The cryoforming process is a development of Boeing Airplane Company. It is used in the processing of hardenable stainless steel sheet.”
