Snow Jet Technology for Cryogenic Cooling and Machining of Difficult-to-Machine Materials

(PresseBox) (Ditzingen, September 4, 2024)

In automated turning processes involving expensive, highly wear-resistant materials, cryogenic cooling increases process efficiency and component quality compared to conventional machining methods, regardless of the cutting tool material used.

Manufacturing costs can be reduced through increased cutting parameters. Unlike conventional metalworking fluids, cryogenic cooling does not contaminate the machining chips, allowing them to be reused.

These benefits have been demonstrated by the results of a publicly funded research project.
