TL;DR: In this article, experimental investigation of dissimilar metallic joints with temperature and load cycles was taken up for the study of thermal contact conductance at low temperature is associated with different factors like differential contraction, radial deformation of asperities and improved mechanical properties.

TL;DR: In this article, thermal contact conductance across joints at cryogenic temperature in presence of interstitials like silicon based conductive compound, epoxy based adhesive layer and acrylate based anaerobic sealant are explored.

TL;DR: In this paper , the thermal contact conductance at cryogenic temperature is less affected by hysteresis by an average of 8% and 16% with thermal and mechanical loading cycles respectively.
