The Case for Cryogenic Machining

A tool cooled—really cooled—by liquid nitrogen. The performance is greatly enhanced, particularly on difficult-to-machine materials. Related Suppliers Okuma America Corporation Cryogenic machining, or the supercooling of specifically designed cutting tools by liquid nitrogen supplied by jacketed tubes fitted into a machining center, has been getting well-documented success in speeding the processing of traditionally hard-to-machine alloys […]
