...Albert J. Shih; Mark A. Lewis; John S. Strenkowski This paper describes the machining of elastomers using sharp, woodworking tools and the machining of cryogenically cooled elastomers. Due to the lack of information on tool selection for elastomer machining, a set of thirteen tools that cover...

... production machining and grinding. Cryogenic cooling seemed to be quite effective in reducing the high cutting temperature which impairs product quality and reduces tool life. The present work deals with investigating the role of cryogenic cooling by liquid nitrogen jet on cutting temperature in turning...

...Shane Y. Hong, Professor, Mem. ASME To eliminate health and environmental problems caused by using conventional cutting fluid in the machining industry, a new economical and practical approach to cryogenic machining technology was developed. Using micro nozzle jetting to the cutting point locally...
